Adding images and other attachments to posts.

Adding Photos
There are two methods of adding images to your posts, based on where the images are stored...

Online images - For example Facebook, Twitter, Blog or other websites

• Use the 'Insert an Image' button in the full editor toolbar.  These are not limited by dimension or file size but you can optionally set a Width and Height for the image. Simply paste the URL of the online image and select insert.
  
• Beware of linking to some low profile image hosting websites. Should the website go belly up, the images will disappear...
  

Offline images - For example photos stored on your computer, laptop, pictures folder etc

1. These images need to be uploaded to the messageboard.  
   
2. Find the Attachments section of the 'New Post' window or as a 'Full Reply', located immediately below the full editor. 
   
3. Either, tap/click the attachments area which will open a file explorer window on you device - or you can simply drag files from the file system onto the attachments area to upload.
   
4. Select within the post where you want the attachment to show
   
5.  Tap/click 'insert into post' . 
   

Notes:

• Make sure the cursor is located where the image is to be inserted
  
• All attachments have size limits depending on the file type ie JPG is 2MB  
  
• For security reasons only certain file types are allowed
  
• Until we trust you    only Recruit level and above can add attachments i.e. the Trusted user group. 
  

Resizing images before uploading.
For Windows: 
there is an image resizer in the power toys package

For Mac:
[Can someone please provide a quick and easy instruction or tool built into mac]

Other options:

• There are any number of online resizers e.g https://resizeimage.net/
  
• If feasible you could take photos again with a reduced DPI or Megapixel level
