Todd, Mike and All,

I was curious to know if it is possible to place images in between paragraphs of a text body? Normally they show up at the bottom of a post whether they're "Linked" images or Attachments. I'll try it here to see:

If the text you're reading right now is UNDER the image then nevermind. Just thought this would be useful for doing pictorial write-ups without having to scroll to refer to images at the bottom of the post.

I'll post this now and see if it works...

OK then... nevermind :o

Seems to work just fine. Animated GIFs won't animate, but for embedding images within the text body just use the IMG tags and URL. For those that don't have their own web space/server there's lots of image hosting sites like Image Shack... just don't use them for PhotoShop Contests on FARK.com :eek:

Cheers,
Brian Jackson

Hey, Brian, you have answered your question so I hope I'm not hijacking when I ask if you can supply your Bee cad images with a background color other than black. Some of us print this stuff out and a black background will use up black print cartridges very fast. If there is a way to turn off the background while printing then that would be good! Can anyone tell me if I can do that?

Hi Dean,
You did in fact yell at me once about that. My dillema is in determining what's print-worthy and what's not. In fact per your request I started using a white background, but it was painful over a prolonged time.

A lot of CAD guys have no problem with white backgrounds, and that's fine. I do my best work in a silent, sealed dark room. I have a harder time seeing a dark line against a bright white background than a light line against black. I can read text OK, but lineweights are more cumbersome. That's why I usually keep my workshop and music studio pitch black. I put the light only where I need it.

I did read your history a bit in terms of sensory perception. I think we have a lot in common. We both compensate in creative ways... but it's nobody else's business.
