Please help make the Coffee Shop a great place to hang out by treating other participants with respect.
Uploading images: Maximum file size is 250k; JPG and GIF formats are supported. In Safari, you can link to an image; maximum dimension is 145x145.
Long links will break the forum framework; if you are posting a long URL, either use www.tinyurl.com to shrink it down, or use the link function built into the message editor to make any word an html hot-link.
And some more specific image-posting info:
The HOW Forum works in Internet Explorer and Firefox on both Windows and Mac OS; it also works in Safari for Macintosh-however Safari's image-upload function does not work (it's a systemic problem with Safari, not the forum software). Affected areas include your profile page (uploading your avatar, uploading your profile photo) and the topic-creation page (pasting images in messages).
To add your photo to your profile or to add your avatar to your profile using Safari, use the input URL function (instead of the upload function).
We suggest you input a URL to pull the image off an outside server when you want to add an image to your message. To do this, simply click on the Image button in the message toolbar. This will insert "" into your message; simply type the URL between those two tags.
You also might want to download Firefox at www.getfirefox.com and use it instead of Safari.
