posting block diagram in reply

[MoReese]

 I know how to attach a snippet or vi to my posting.  I'm just wondering how do you post a block diagram .jpg image to your posting so others can see it while reading (so that it is a part of your posting along with your text).  I have seen others do it.  Thanks.

Attach the image to message and post.

After it is posted, right click on the attachment link, properties, copy the link URL(Ctrl-C)

Edit the post.

Go to where you want the image to be and click on the tree icon.

Go to the 3rd tab ("From another site") and paste the link into the source line. (Ctrl-V)

Click Insert Image

Click OK

Repost the message.

Testing...

Excellent!  Thanks for the quick response RavensFan.

You should also be able to do this without editing the message.

Just click the tree icon when composing.

If you like snippets, then perhaps you'll find the Code Capture Tool even better.  http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Community-nugget-Code-Capture-Tool-2-0/m-p/1034265

One of the advantages is that implicit property nodes don't get broken down into a reference and property node.

To comment on Laura's message:

You can go directly to the tree, and click upload from my computer.  The problem with this is it puts it in your image gallery.  That is fine as long as you never clean out your gallery.  If you do then you will lose the image from the message.  That is why I think it is better to attach the image to the message so that it essentially always available where it is actually used.  And for me, after thousands of messages, my image gallery would have been flooded with images that I no longer care about, but can't delete because it would corrupt whatever messages that actually used that image.

That makes sense about the image gallery.  I will give the code capture a try as well.  I have noticed changes to my code when using snippets (It's almost like LabView knows more than me).  Thanks a bunch for explaining that.

One more question, and sorry for being a nube:

How do I highlight an individuals comment from another post in my own posting?  Thanks again.

Edit:

Never mind.  I see the quote button.
