Thanks, npod! And usmcpiper, if you'd rather copy/paste as text into Word or whatever to save for reference, here's a brief of how to:
These instructions apply to using Windows, & the album section of your account here. If you use Apple &/or another image resource, most of them generally translate.
1. On the pipesmagazine home page, go to My Account>Album>Pictures Pick the image you want & click to enlarge. To get the image right, the key in most instances is to click on the picture in your album to enlarge it, then right-click & select "copy image location," e.g. --
http://pipesmagazine.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/album/18016/20180531_095408-600x337.jpg
[Note that even if the URL appears correct, you *have* to make sure that the address you copy has the .jpg extension or it won't display correctly. ]]
2. If you want your picture to appear large enough to see detail, use a text editor to change the address you’re going to use, & edit out the size delimiter info in bold below, so it looks like the second line below:
http://pipesmagazine.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/album/18016/20180531_095408-600x337.jpg

3. Copy that info to the clipboard & you’re ready to write your message. Start a message as you normally would (either replying in a thread, or beginning a new one. After you type whatever blahblah you want in, click the box above the message that says IMG. An address box will come up with “http://”. Paste your picture’s address from the clipboard; it will overwrite the stuff already in the IMG box. Click OK. Another box will open up asking for text about the picture. Type in whatever you want, & click OK again, & the picture will post when you hit send. [Don’t worry that it doesn’t display for you to see before you send the message. It’s normal for it to work this way.]
4. Repeat the above for any additional pictures you want to use. That’s all there is to it. Please feel more than free to private message me if it's not clear!
