Can I Post A Screenshot In My Thread?
I have a screenshot of my Thunderbird screen that I would to add when I create a new thread.
I tried to do that but was not able to find a button or way to do it. The FAQ didn't show any information. Is there a way to add an image to my thread? Thanks, Bill |

No, you may only post a link to a screenshot stored elsewhere.

You can't upload a file and have it 'attached' to a post. You would have to use a third party to host the file, and then provide a link to that file in the post.

Yes that would take up space allowing people to store attachments and all.....

Just to add to my previous post.. I'm pretty sure that even a link to an image file won't, and can't, be embedded to a post in these particular forums.
- Bruce edit: I think what I was trying to say is that while a link to an image can be included in a post, a display of the image itself is not possible. Last edited by somdcomputerguy : 3 Dec 2022 at 12:50 PM. Reason: second thoughts.. |

I beg to differ. Can't you see the image at the link below?
Mail Preferences This is a web link - not an attachment. Only text characters are stored on the EMD server - it's just a URL. Bill |

From the OP. As my first post says, I have a screenshot of my Thunderbird screen that I would like to add to the thread because I think it would be easier to understand my question if you could look at the screenshot. So what I am reading and understanding is that there is no way to add a screenshot image to this forum either from a photo sharing website or as a direct upload. What do the other users do, maybe they don’t do anything because of this limitation.
With all due respect to email discussions.com this is the only forum that I participate in that does not allow images etc. to be posted within a thread Your thoughts please. Thanks, Bill |

n5bb - sorry for the delay in my response to your information about posting a screenshot. I went to the postimages.org website you mentioned and uploaded my screenshot then created a post on this board with the "image" link and it worked perfect. Thanks again for your help!
