In recent weeks I have seen a few images actually appear on the forums, within a post, rather than a link to a pic elsewhere. I have searched the FAQ, and tried inserting pics (Jpegs) into text. Guidance please. rabbit |

The pictures must be hosted on the internet somewhere. You can't upload direct from your computer. Then you just copy and paste the URL here. The URL must end in a graphic format extension. A few days ago I noticed that .jpegs did not post but .jpgs did. I don't know if Bill has fixed that yet. link
link Edit: Yup still no jpegs. |

It has to be a linked URL, you can't upload JPeg images. So if you want to link to your own pictures you'll need to send them to an image hosting site (photobucket/Flickr/similar) and paste the link. |

Which begs the question, is there a reason that the jpeg extension is not recognized or is it just a hole in the programming? |

Which begs the question No, it invites the question. To beg the question is to assert the truth of a proposition to be proved with no evidence apart from the original assertion. ( link ) I wonder what the story is with PNGs and GIFs. |

The code currently recognizes .jpg .JPG .gif and .GIF Yes, I need to add more. |

Thanks for the definition Jeff. |

I think that PNGs beg but GIFs invite. Somebody told me that TIFs demand! |
