Help! I don't understand 'Zenfolioese'

[Ukuleleman]

Please treat me like you would a four year old, because, although I don't consider myself thick! try as I might I cannot embed my Zenfolio pictures on this, or any other forum site.

Let me say at the beginning that I have no problem adding a link to my pictures in any post that I might make, the trouble is that is all I can do when what I sometimes want is to display the actual picture in the post.

I e-mailed Zenfolio and they merely referred me to one of their instruction pages which I had already read, so I was no further along in my quest.

Here is what I have tried:-

(1) From the 'Visitor' page, open the picture I want to embed. click 'send link' from the top left of picture. choose a picture size from the dialogue box that appears, copy link and paste in forum. result link to picture, but no actual picture.

(2) Same as 1, with the exception of putting the link in the box that comes up at the top of the actual posting area (the yellowy thing with landscapy mountains
in it) result link to picture but no picture.

The terrible part of this is that I have embedded in this forum before, can't remember how, but it certainly didn't seem to be this complicated, I must be losing it!???

Please don't use your crayons on the kitchen table. And clean up your toys.

Just copy the ZF link and paste it in the POTN forum using the forum's "Insert Image" button, the 5th button from the right on the Post Reply screen. It's no different than posting a photo link from anywhere.

Good luck,

On second thoughts, this is my No 2 method described above, It puts a link to the photo in the post, but the photo does not appear, I don't want to link, I want to embed. thanks for your input anyway.

Are you copying the ZF link from ZF's "Send Link" menu? This should give you options to copy links at various sizes, then you embed them in the POTN forum using their "Insert Image" button. Works for me. For example, here is a medium sized image chosen from ZF's Send Link menu:

Update:- I managed to get one picture of three into my post, after the first picture went in with absolutely no problem I started to lose the 'Save' option
which was replaced by a 'Go' option, selecting 'Go' closed the 'edit' status without embedding the picture, the more I tried the more 'Go' options I got but the 'Save' option disappeared!
I don't understand how the 'embed image' works once but refuses a second and third time, thanks for your help, my original problem was that I wasn't 'saving' after embedding! duh,, I know!:rolleyes:
