The use of images in posts is an important tool in confirming the identification of any medication.  There are two different mechanisms for displaying images in posts. 

  1. Inlining images (linking to off-site images)
  2. Uploading images (add your image to the Pharmer.org collection) and including images from the Pharmer.org galleries.

To inline an image, click the icon on toolbar.  Enter the URL of image you want to include in the post. For example: http://www.pharmer.org/files/pharmer_logo.jpg (dont' forget the "http://").  All the other fields on the form are optional. 

To upload an image, click the  icon directly below the editor.  Click 'Add image' in the upper left hand corner to upload an image.  Alternatively, click "create content" in your user menu on the left hand side of the screen and choose "Add Image".  On the next upload image form, please include a title and a brief description of your image.  Your image and description will automatically be inserted in the Contributed Gallery.  Please also see the forum topic regarding the use of copyrighted images.

To include an image from a Pharmer.org gallery in your post, click the icon and select any image in the Pharmer.org collection.  You can narrow down the images by either choosing a specific gallery under "filter options" or by clicking "my images" to show only those images that you have previously uploaded.  After selecting an image for insertion, simply press the "insert image" button.  The inserted thumbnail will be automatically linked to the full image and description.
