winestem Posted April 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) As a new member of this Forum and new Leica owner, and someone who once thought he was technically-savvy, I cannot figure out how to post photos within posts, nor can I figure out how to link photos (from SmugMug or Flickr, for example) into my posts so that the images appear within the post. Is there a "How to" section in the Forum? A remedial class...? Thanks in advance for your patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 5, 2018 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2018 Geoffrey - Welcome to the Forum. A few minor corrections and additions: Images can be no more than 1280 pixels on the longer side, and file sizes for an entire post (one or more images in the same post) no more than 500 KB. I also strongly urge you to place images directly here rather than via SmugMug or Flickr since sometimes those links fail after a few minutes, a few days, or never. Finally, if you decide to place just a link here with no image showing be aware that many of us will not click through without incentive to do so. Hence, if you place just a link to related photos I encourage you also to place one or two images here to lure us into clicking through. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by placing a link you mean, literally, copying and pasting it into the post? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
