PDF Files

JWFreak

Ok Not sure about the inner workings of this forum.

However how is it possible to attach a pdf file or a photo to a post.

Can some one explain in very simple language for me.....I am not to keen on hosting on a photobucket site as I need to keep my id private.

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Hi JWF,

Yes, it is possible and not difficult. In both cases, however, the files must first be copied to some web location. Most users have a vanity space allotment from their Internet Providers.

Then, for PDF files (or any hyperlink) when composing your message in the editor, first select a piece of text. Once highlighted, look above to that middle row of icons for the one that looks like a chain. Click that and a dialog box should open where you can paste the hyperlink address to the proper field. Here's one of my essays (on WT dishonesty) that's located on my vanity space.

For photos, no text selection is necessary. Place your cursor where you'd like the photo to appear, then click that icon in the same middle row, the one that looks like a green tree. Again, a dialog box should open where you can paste the hyperlink address. Many users first place their photo to the free service PhotoBucket. What follows is an infamous image of Russell's grave site I just found using Google images. I then selected it and used the center-alignment icon.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm ... I just noticed that privacy issue you mention. Perhaps others may want to chime in here for tips.

At first thought perhaps you can find some trusted person here who is willing to host your files to assure anonymity. Surely there are free sites out there that will do the same.
