Including an image from our new gallery into a forum thread is simple.  

[list=1]
  • Find the image in the gallery you want to include
  • Click on it to view the mid-sized image and look toward the bottom of the screen at the File Information table (below the film strip).  See the image below for what this table looks like.  What we're interested in is highlighted in red.

  • The last item in the table is "Forum Linking Code".  Copy the code* (including the tags).
  • Paste the text into the thread on the forum where you want to include the image (see the image below).


*Copying text can be done three different ways.  The first step is to click and drag your mouse over the text you want to copy.  Then you can either press CTRL-C on your keyboard, or right click your mouse and select copy, or select choose the Edit->Copy menu item from your browser.  It's important to get the tags when you copy the image linking text.
