So I'm hearing that the EM website as such doesn't cache any images but always refers to the source, e.g., dropbox. I suspect that is different to/from the Profile pix.

The key is to keep the text parts with the appropriate image tags, that are quoted as text while you're still in the editor.

I take 'in the editor' as the Message input form. Using Mac OSX 10.6.8 and Seamonkey 2.11; I select and copy as such:
click the Quote button and Paste

and I can already see the picture isn't going to display.

I'm seeing both image-links that you included.

[freebeard]

With all respect, did you see that the first image shows the image selected, and in the second there are 3 Returns where the link should be?

Quoted once - and the links remain in place and working

Above answer quoted again - yes, in full.

As per forum software, you don't get quotes - or links / images - included in a reply when they are 2 quotation levels deep.

Maybe that was the issue ?

Well... thanks for your consideration.

I see no clickable links within your post #25. What I'm going to say at this point is the rest of my life is approximately this difficult, so maybe it's Karma. I will proceed by manually downing, upping it to Imgur and then Linking inside the Quote.

This is helpful. The more you know...

Belong to couple others sites that allow direct post of pics from local hard drive, very easy

[freebeard]

As it is with this one, by visiting your User Control Panel and clicking Pictures & Albums. I was pretty much a noob in 2012 and don't use Imgur much anymore.

Also... welcome to EM.

Can you show the pic in the body or is it always a thumbnail? Apologies for asking noob questions freebeard
