posting and email question?

[seemslikeadream]

I would like to know how to post a tiled version of this picture without the gap?



And if someone could tell me how to post a picture in an email so it would show up in the message instead of just a link?

Thanks very much in advance if anyone could help me

1. Partial answer ...

Removing that gap requires some HTML formatting, and I don't think DU messages allow it to that level. It could easily be done with a table, but I know tables aren't allowed in postings.

Regarding the e-mail, what e-mail program are you using?

The simplest solution is to compose the e-mail in HTML format and use HTML tags to link to the image. However, whether the recipient sees the message you want them to see depends on their own e-mail client and/or their settings. I have all HTML formatting turned off in my e-mail client for example, specifically to prevent this because it can be a security risk.

Your graphic is composed of 12 separate frames that are run in a loop.

You need to use a graphics program that can edit animated .gif files.
I used Corel PhotoPaint 12, but any animated .gif editor can do it. The proceedure will be the same.

You open the image in Corel Paint (careful to select "Full Image" and not "partial load).
You then edit all 12 frames of this animation one frame at a time.
Double the width of the white background in "Paper Size", then copy the image, and re paste it in the same frame being careful to match up the splice.

Then resave the file.

or
You can just borrow the one I posted.
Just Right click, and save it.

Edited to add: This graphic belongs to eclectech.co.uk, and I shouldn't have modified it and posted it to a public bulletin board without their permission.


To easiest way to get images to show in your E-Mails is to save a copy of the picture to your harddrive. When you get to the part where you want to put this picture in your E-Mail, use the drop down menu for "Insert Graphic" or "Picture", and then follow the menus to direct the E-Mail composer to the location you saved the picture. The picture (not the link) should appear in the body of your E-Mail.
Your mileage may vary depending on the E-Mail program you are using, but the proceedure will be similiar. Some of the low end E-Mail composers may not be capable of embedding a picture in the body of the text.


Cheers!

5. DU only allows certain HTML functions.

When you click on "reply" at DU, immediately above the "SUBJECT" box for your reply, you will see two blue hyperlinks.
Click on the one that says "HTML lookup table" for a list of HTML codes allowed at DU. There are other HTML functions that work here, but they are limited.

Anything enclosed in brackets won't be visible.

There are some good threads on HTML at DU.
