I have been getting some questions about how to insert images, so I put this explanation together:
There are 3 easy ways to add an image to a post on ATop. In all three cases, the images must be on the web somewhere to show up here.
YOU CANNOT JUST COPY A PICTURE FROM YOUR COMPUTER AND PASTE IT HERE.
1. ADD AN ATTACHMENT
1. Click on ADD ATTACHMENT button in the upper right.
2. The click on + Add Files button. Select 1 to 3 files from your computer. 1 MB max per attachment. Then hit the Insert button.
3. Attachments will be inserted in your post where your cursor is OR if your cursor is not in the reply box to the end of your post at the time you post it. (example broccoli smiley was posted now at then end of this post).
4. If you want to delete the image, right click on the image, it will turn blue/highlight and you can delete it or you can delete the file .
5. If you want to add more images, hit EDIT ATTACHMENTS and the + Add Files button. Then hit the Insert button.
6. You can also Insert the same image on the pop-up to get multiple copies. It will be the same as the original uploaded image.
2. COPY AN IMAGE FROM A WEBSITE
If you image is already on the web, you can just copy and paste it here. (Will not work for Instagram and other services that block copying or do not have the images hosted on the web.) This was copied from Just Jared. For a PC with mouse: Right Click on image, Copy Image, Right Click on ATop reply area, and hit Paste.
3. UPLOAD IT FROM A PHOTO SITE
If the image is in Photobucket, Image Shack OR on any website, you can use the ATop Replay Toolbar. Click on the INSERT IMAGE button --6th button from the right, picture of a sunset.
A box will pop up. Just post the URL in the space that says http://

**** a few things that are causing problems ****
1. When you post your post, you will see the code before the post appears with the image. If your connection is slow, just wait.
2. You cannot copy and post a picture from your computer. If you copy an image from your computer and paste it in the reply box, it will show up on preview BUT it will vanish when you post because the image MUST HAVE A WEB ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. You can upload it to the Adamtopia server and do not need to use a third party service to so this. This is the first method listed -- ADD ATTACHMENT.
3. Posting images with invalid file names. This is a problem with photos from Twitter sometimes.
You cannot post a Twitter large image URL -- example filename = twitter.com/Worldw_Glamily/status/300716891226378240/photo/1 OR if you just save it with the default file name = BCxca1fCEAAMCwY.png large
You can attach an image like this, but it will just post a link to it. Here is
file name = BCxca1fCEAAMCwY.png large
BCxca1fCEAAMCwY.png large.png%20large (339.92 KB)
In this case, you can fix the extension so it is .png (use rename on your computer) then you can upload it. And you will get this.
