Quick question...

[ash48]

I know you told me how to do this greyowl88 but I can't find the message.. *facepalm*

Can someone tell me how to embed an image into a reply comment? I'm sure it's easy, but I just con't figure it out.

Many thanks.

Haha...ok, again: Act like you want to make a usual post and insert the pic into that post. When you click on html you see the html address of the pic.
Then open another window with LJ where you want to make your comment and drag the html of the pic into the comment. Preview shows the picture.

I hope this wasn't too confusing.

I cheat and use the Firefox extension.



I confuse easily and my brain just can't cope with HTML...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh? Do tell...

Is it a firefox add on?

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Yep it is and I love it - takes a little getting used to, but keeps an eye on updated flists and messages and allows you to highlight text for formatting as set and is adaptable so you can add your own commands for pictures like this , lets you link to things by copying the URL to THIS post, puts in LJ users like me el1ie and lets you put in quotes and stuff like this -

Here's the link if you want to try it - liveJournal add on for Firefox

It's also useful for reading comments on large communities as it adds an Expand feature at the end of every post that's in tree form or you can choose to unfold all the comments on that page for easy reading.

There's probably tons more it does as well, but those features are the ones I can't live without, just shout if you have any difficulty setting it up - it's pretty straight forward once you get used to it, but like everything else it can seem a bit intimidating with the amount of stuff it can do - I don't use anywhere near it's capacity, just what I need.

That's because I had sent it in a pm...*g*
(But I'm glad there is more professional advice around than mine...ha ha.)

Oh this is great. Thank you so much. I'm pretty used to the html now, but anything that makes LJ easier is worth a look at.

Thanks hun. Definitely going to look into it. :)
