Testing a photo...

[TravlinMan]

Hint - you look like you have an Apple device..   Save the picture as a .jpg or .png file then re-upload it.

Thank you!

If posting from my phone I also resize to the smallest and save. To make sure it is below the maximum size allowed.

I do all my postings and pictures from my iPhone.

A little background from the 'interwebs'..

HEIC is actually a file format used by Apple for storing images on your iPhones and Macs. Earlier, Apple used the widely popular JPEG format to let you capture and store photos on your machines. Starting in 2017, the company has made HEIC as the default file format for all the images that you capture on your Apple devices.

'.jpg and .png' is the web/cross platform standard..

hope this helps explain things a little better.

^ this is the fastest, easiest way to get an image uploaded as far as format and sizing.. ( In My Honest Opinion)

Photo test–

This is a sample of the code that I can currently copy (July 2024) from my Internet storage site when I use the command to obtain code to use to embed a photograph in an email–

https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ak_mML0wPPnwi4INRSAoTKHXt1To5g?embed=1&width=2551&height=1781

It doesn't embed a photograph.  It's simply a link.  You'll see the proper photograph if you click on it even though I didn't include the generally required  [u r l][/ u r l] commands bracketing it.

This is a sample of the former code that I would copy with the same command–

When I bracketed it with the [i m g][/i m g] commands it embedded the photograph making it visible when previewing.

So—I need to know how to use the new code to embed a photograph so that it's manipulated by this Simple Machines software in the way it used to.  Does anyone have the process to share?

Download to your local hard drive from the cloud

Upload to this site using the attachments feature

The way I do it currently, since I use the phone for taking them, I go in and edit to resize to the smallest size, then just hook the phone to the computer, use the attachments and other options below the message box, attach and then pull directly from the phone.

So sorry, I use imgur and it provides a link you simply copy and paste into thread.  I have no idea how to help!  But will try a few things right now!

Makes no sense.  That is your 2nd link, using the img link with Windows 10, using Chrome on a desktop.

Yeah, I can use the Attachments and other options command and let Simple Machines embed the photograph obtained from my chosen Internet storage site, it doesn't have to be on my hard drive, but I can't see the photograph in Preview mode to judge the size and other variables like I could when using the [i m g][/ i m g] commands with the old html code that Apple Safari generated.

Yeah, that used to work like a charm and it didn't take space on your server.  But that coding is no more.
