Why are the images shown both vertically & horizontally?

Which browser are you using? It's not doing that when I look at the thread.

Looking at that small picture, it looks like all pictures were manually inserted vertically (maybe with [img] tags instead of the proper [attach] tags?), and then the forum software added them horizontally in the attachment box at the bottom. The post has been edited since then.

Oh! I just assumed they used the same method as before. I did not read very far in the instructions when I actually uploaded images. Thanks, F-Man!

I did edit the post, & removed those images, & then used the ones from photobucket.

BTW, for the purposes I have, a mere 5 images / post & uploaded 1 at a time, is not going to work well. :D

Mark: I use OPERA.

That's cool it doesn't seem like a browser thing, I think F-Man has it figured ;)

o.k., here are 3 of the 5:

These display horizontally in Opera, but vertically in IE. But either way, I cannot put a line of text between them.

Ok maybe it is a browser thing :d oh: I'll look into it but ideally you should be using the [attach] tag anyway.

You cant put text inbetween them because you have to manually put them in by clicking on the down arrow by the paper clip

Images in the attachments box are separated by spaces, so if they appear vertically in a browser, that's because the window is too small to allow more than one on the same line. I think that using the attach tags, you can arrange them however you want, without using the attachments box for which you have no control. Just a guess from others posts I've seen...
