Reusing attachment images
#7
Hi de ho,

So I want to use this image in another post, rather than reuploading it:

[Image: attachment.php?aid=38607]

When I insert the URL into the editor for a image insert, it displays the image, but once published it shows the link, like you see above.

How do I make it show the image?

Thanks

I rarely venture out of the basement.

What I do: 
If I have the image in the browser, such as yours is above, I right-click the image and get a menu that includes "Open image in new tab" and "Copy image address" either of these will give me the URL of the image. Yours is https://forums.woodnet.net/attachment.php?aid=38607 

If it's an attachment that you want to reuse, when making a post there is a link [View My Attachments] near the bottom of the posting window that takes you to your attachments, where you can pick which one to use.

I missed this, sounds like a different prollem than getting the URL for the pic...
