I am new to this forum. I am trying to figure out how to include image in post. I see the "insert link" (Ctrl + K) and the "Insert Image" (Ctrl +P). My TIFFs are on my C: drive. Do I just insert that link? for example : C:\Users\Safety\Walkdowns\Cable.tif ?
 
Welcome to the forum.

"Insert" works with URLs. To upload from your computer, click on the "Attach files" button under the response window, and navigate to the image you want to post, and select "Open".

Thank you Larry, but I guess I am ignorant on this terminology. I do see the "Attach Files". Not sure if I understand what the response window is. I would think it would be the window I am typing right now. I see the URL when I click the "Chain Link", but when I right click it does not give me the option for "Attach Files". Sorry for being a pain. I must be blind.

Larry, I meant to say "I do NOT see the "Attach Files".

Yes, it's below the window where you type, under the bottom/left corner, not in the tool-bar above.

Larry,
I do not have an "Attached Files" window in the bottom left hand side of this response window. I tried different browsers (Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Explorer, FireFox and Chrome). None had the attach files option. Thanks for the help. anyway.

Larry, For whatever reason the "Attached Files" is now showing up in the lower left hand corner. Maybe since I just signed up of this forum this morning, it took some time for it to show up. thank you for the help!
 
You cannot attach files until you have done a minumum number of posts (I don't remember the number). You must have passed that point in how many times you asked! :D

Interesting.
Thank you!
 
So, after all of this ado, where's the pic, K-dawg?

Larry,
I posted here on "General Electrical Forum" immediately after I got the "Attached File" showing up in lower left hand corner. But I don't see it now. I will try attaching files here on this post.
My question is does these power cables coming off of an 18 wheel trailer violate the NEC?

My pics are not showing up even though I attached to this response. I don't know why.
