Default Re: Picture attachments within the text.

Testing...

Click image for larger version

OK, I've worked it out...

Attach the image as normal. Once back to the main window with the "reply" interface, scroll down to where the attachments are shown in a list, just above the "Manage Attachments" button.

If you click on an attachment, it will open in a new tab or window.

Look closely at the URL. Here's my one:

Code:
http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=142089&stc=1&d=1493896996
The key thing is "attachmentid" - 142089 in this case.

If you quote this to reply, you'll see that I've enclosed that ID in the ATTACH tags. Job done

Perhaps there's a simpler way of doing it, but as I do a lot of HTML and similar stuff, I'm OK with this.

But the downside: it doesn't use the "Lightbox" plugin, so once you've viewed the image, click "Back" in the browser to go back to the post.

Hope this helps,

Mark
