How to use iboats ideabooks to post pictures in the forum

[Kiter007]

Can folks let me know if these steps work for you?

1. Click into an ideabook (yours or someone else's) with the picture you want to post.
2. In the ideabook, click on the specific picture you want to post so that you only see the one image.
3. Right-click the image with your mouse, select the "Copy image address" option.
4. Next, go to the forum thread where you want to post the picture.
5. Go to the reply form at the bottom of the forum thread.
6. Click the "Upload Attachments" (top right of the form); two attachment options will appear at the bottom of the form.
7. Select "Upload from URL" attachment option; a "Enter URL of the file" form will pop up.
8. Paste the image URL (from step 3) into the input field. You can do this using Control+V or right-click your mouse and select paste. Click okay. The form will disappear.
9. Select the insert size from the various size options displayed; they're to the right of each image thumbnail. We suggest using medium or large.
10. If you want to add multiple images at the same time then repeat steps 7-9 and add a new image URL each time using steps 1-3.

Actually - you can do that simply by using the image icon in the Advanced Editor. When you click on the underlined "A" in the upper right, the menu will show an "Image" icon (next to the link buttons). Click that and past the image address in and it will show up inline to the text.

I updated the PHOTO TUTORIAL with this option.
