schutzenfester Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have noticed that many users post pictures of coins and medals directly into their psots. I have only been able to insert a thumnail that requires 'clicking' to then see the picture. Can someone tell me how to post a pic directly inta post? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 You can use the img command and place an internet link address to the desired picture. I'll use brackets in my example but the actual command requires the full bracket on each end. Full bracket=[ open bracket. And ] close bracket. {img} http://images8.fotki.com/v160/photos/6/637...bv-vi.jpg{/img} This is a Notgeld note that I have in one of my albums on fotki. It's a picture hosting site.

akdrv Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 You can use an IMG tag in a post to include a picture that's hosted somewhere else. For example this will display a picture from your website: [IMG=http://www.geocities.com/schutzenfestmedals/m325ag.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schutzenfester Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ok, from what I can see, it looks as though I can directly post from internet as you advised and if I want to post from my computer, this is when I use thumbnails...?

akdrv Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 You can upload your pictures to OmniCoin (overse and reverse have to be separate images) and link a picture from there, upload to your gallery here (My Controls -> Your Albums), or use some other image hosting site like photobucket.com or tinypic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 OK....I got lost along the way somewhere. I'm used to posting links to imnages on my own web page, but this is becoming impractical for me. I've recently opened an omnicoin account and posted my first two images there. How do I obtain web links from the images I have put on omnicoin.com. I can get the general link to the page where the images are easily enough but surely there is a simple way to obtain a link to just the images and description(?) I've also uploaded the two images concerned to an album at `coinpeople' as an experiment. How do I post links to these images on coinpeople itself? maybe i should just stick to using my own web page...... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 If you just want to link the pcture here, click on your Omnicoin image to get the larger version; right click on the pic to get properties and there you will find the http address that you need to bookmark with Not sure if you can link the description with the image though. I think that is imbeded in the page and thus the page needs to be linked for access to that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have both free and fee accounts. The free account does a good job for a whole lot of people. I got the fee account because I'm loading bunches of old pictures for my wife to share with the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trantor_3 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Not a medal, but a coin. That's a coin????? Where's the obvious things like country, denomination and year etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 That's a coin????? Where's the obvious things like country, denomination and year etc. ? Yep. I guess you might call it non circulating legal tender though, and even then i'm not quite sure about the `legal' part. It was issued by the governing body though. `Normal' details are completely ommitted excepting for denomination. See world coins museum / Europe for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
