Hi,
I have not found a forum topic for this so I suppose this one is as good as any.
There is an icon for hosting and embedding images. The first time I used this it did not do anything. I went through it all the moves and it did not insert my image.
As far as I can, the first time you use it does some automatic inscription with an external image hosting service. Some time later ( next day ?) it all works.
I thought maybe I had to set myself up an account there independently but that did not seem possible ( despite them having a register page :? )
It would be helpful to have some info somewhere of the forum explaining how all this works.
Now I used this functionality to upload a few images ( graphs ) . Two of these had a scaling error that I wanted to correct, so I uploaded a new version and changed the links in my posts. However, other users have quoted my posts and thus include the original graphs with the error and I can't edit those quotes to correct the link. I would like to delete the incorrect version to avoid confusion.
However, I can't log into the image hosting site since it was not me who did the inscription.
Could someone explain if this is done with a central forum owned account or whether each member has an independent ID that is set up automatically?
If it is individual ( which it seems to be because of the set-up detail ) is there a way for a member to access images that he has uploaded and remove them?
Thanks for any clarifications on how this works.
