The Lightbox Explained

[Carl]

See that little icon that looks like a match being lit? That's the lightbox feature. Click it, and it will ask for a URL of an image which lives somewhere on the web. The image will display as medium size, and clicking it will reveal the full-size image. Let's try it:

If you have an image on your computer that you'd like to upload, use the "manage files" link near the bottom, and you can upload the image to our server and display it.

In the past, we've asked you to use Photobucket or a similar service to link to images, but the new features on the boards and proliferation of bandwidth means we don't have to any more, but you certainly can if you'd like.

it hates me. I tried it with Stevie and with Roger, and it doesn't work for me.

[Brad_M]

I likey!

[edna]

It won't copy the whole link for me. The ".jpg" is missing...

Oh, I see... I had to click on "thumbs" but I will have to see how it works... it's still small...

[edna]

Oh, OK...

Click on "manage files", then

1-browse

2-add

3-click on thumb or full image

4-copy the link on the reply

5-click on "lightbox

6-paste the link

7-click on add.

Whatchu talkin bout?

[edna]

...oh... this time I didn't copy nor paste... just clicked on finished et voilà...

Merci, Monsieur Bazoo...

[edna]

...but then I clicked on the image and the post disappeared... so I went back and it was there again...

[edna]

I learned how to use the light box and manage files and such.

But now I try to upload a picture through manage files and I get this message. The maximum number of allowed attachments has been reached.

What does it mean, please? Thank you!!

[Carl]

Sorry about that Edna. I'm checking with the Fusion people to see where this is set and what's going on.

[edna]

Thank you, Carl...

I can still post pictures photobucket way...
