Is there any way to preview images in a post.
« on: August 17, 2019, 11:24:04 AM »
  If I attach an image, when I do a preview I can't see the image. Is it possible to see images in Preview?
Also is there any way to put the image between text.

 Like,
 Here's the Cat.

And here's the Dog.

Yes to all, if instead of "attaching" an image you "embed" the image within the post itself, using the [img] [/img] codes.

E.g., see a recent post: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/investor-alley/all-my-eggs-in-one-basket/msg2440763/#msg2440763

See Uploading an image - Bogleheads.org.  Different forum software but I believe the suggestions will work here also.

That's a start.  Don't recall where I saw the "dl=1" idea.

Wow, mind blown! Thanks for this tip. If you use this method, does the image appear in Preview mode?
