    I seem to be having issues inserting images into my posts.

    • How does one insert an image that is from your hard drive and not on
      the internet?
    • How do you resize the image?

    Welcome to v2 Talk! 😮

    As far as I know, the only way to get your own images into any Talk (or the GZ forum) is to provide a URL. So I have always first uploaded my images to a website (I use Photobucket; there is an abundance of choice).

    Resizing in v2 Talks is possible, but potentially very dangerous.

    vrooje (Brooke Simmons) discovered this the hard way; she wrote a very informative post - Formatting in Posts - HTML, Tags, Smileys, Preview etc. - in GZ Talk, full of unsupported HTML tags and code. A few hours' later, arfon (really miss you arfon 😦 ) had to set the record straight, with a list of those which are supported, and the caution "anything other than that isn't guaranteed to work" (vrooje edited her OP to remove the dangerous unsupported code).

    Sadly, resizing images does not appear to be supported in v2 Talk (it is in the GZ forum), so you have to do the resizing first, before you upload. 😦

    But perhaps there have been changes made? Perhaps there now is a way to resize images?

    Thanks for the info. At this point there is no way to resize the image 😦
