Message creation

Two small problems please.
How do I place an image into the body of my message rather than as an attachment?  I have found the 'insert image' button but can't seem to get it to work.
Where do I find the controls for altering the appearance of a signature?

Re: Message creation

Your signature settings can be found under 'Profile'
To embed an image it needs to be a hyperlink to somewhere it is hosted and not uploaded from your PC

Re: Message creation

Thanks Adie. I can see the signature detail under 'profile' but no way of altering it (bold, larger etc).
Thanks for the image info. Will give it a go when I've got something to post. Do I understand you right that if I have an image on my desktop or in an email I can't use it?

Re: Message creation

You need to go to "Forum Profile Information" and then scroll down to edit your signature.
You need to use tags to make size and emboldening changes.

Re: Message creation

Draft your signature in an ordinary post then copy the code in to your signature.
