    [RESOLVED] What is the "Correct Way" To Insert An Image When Posting?

    I've posted images in the past on KFN without issue, and I can see them in my old posts from any computer or virtual machine. I noticed in my recent post I only see my photo when I view KFN from my laptop. I don't see the photo in my post from my virtual machines or my iPhone, but I see other member's photos consistently. I checked the Help files, but I didn't find a solution.

    This is the post:

    I'm using the Image button on the toolbar to insert a photo. Is there a better way to insert a photo?

    I drag-n-drop, then resize by dragging from the bottom right corner.
    Basically, there is no right or wrong.

    Either click on the Upload Attachments button, or just drag-and-drop into the post.

      IME, by far the easiest is just drag and drop. However, if you want to control the image size (thumbnail) you will have to fiddle with it. IME choosing a different thumbnail size after drag-n-drop causes a duplicate image to appear. It's not too difficult to just select and delete the one you don;t want.

        Drag and drop it is then!

        I checked this post on all my devices and can see my screenshot in all of them. This is the easiest and works for me.

        I wonder if it has to do with size? The first time I uploaded the image, it was 1366x768 pixels. It was 1024x576 when I drag and drop. I just right clicked from the post and "save image as" to check the posted image size. I don't know if this is accurate or not.

        How do you mark "RESOLVED"?

              I forgot. This forum isn't configured to use Topic Prefixes.

                How do others mark resolved? Do they just edit the Topic and manually add [RESOLVED] in front of the topic?

                  In a forum where Topic Prefixes are not set to be used, yes.
