Post pictures or signature on Delphi Forums without a paid account

  First, go here>Photobucket (or your preferred online photo storage service)and set up an account.
then:

For FireFox Users IMPORTANT NOTE!!!: Whitemare has just announced renewed support of her WYSIWYG Rich Text Editor (RTE) for Fire Fox here on Delphi. More on this later. Watch the Forum for announcements. The Links and instructions for it's installation and use for signature pictures and unlimited posting of pics without a paid account will be updated here, in the Wiki, as the information becomes available (and I get it all figured out!).

You must of course, be using Fire Fox as your Browser, Then...

You must have the required Greasemonkey add-on for FF, if you don't already, from here> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/;

Then get the script for the WYSIWYG RTE itself if you don't already have it, from here> http://www.gofirefoxnow.com/wysiwyg/dfRTE4-6.user.js

(When the Script Pop-up appears, click on "Install")

 You should be done installing the RTE and it will take effect the next time you use FF as 

your preferred editor to post or edit. You may need to restart FF, and go to your Delphi Preferences, then select Fire Fox as your preferred editor (not Delphi's Editor)

Sorry for minimal to no instructions yet, but I will update as quickly as I can get the 'How-To' instructions written and tested for correctness.

Beginners step-by-step Instructions

For beginners installing this RTE for the first time (or reinstalling) and attempting to learn how to do a signature or upload photo's with only a Basic (non-paid Delphi acct), Here is a set of instructions that I wrote a few years ago that should work as I have tried to edit with a few updated links. Please let me know if these instructions don't work (or if they do!) Click the following link for: Beginners step-by-step Instructions

For more FireFox info: See Here>Go FireFox! For Using FireFox on Delphi.

LATEST INFO ON POSTING PICS THANKS TO LEOChap From LEOChap in post https://forums.delphiforums.com/starroadliner/messages/?msg=35146.2 Here's how to post pics on your phone. Go to the "Reply" button on your post. Bottom right hand corner. There are two arrows. The "Down" arrow grants you ability to edit. Touch "Edit". Now you can add pics. In the little tool bar at the top of your actual post, is a Camera, a Paperclip, a Photo, and a square box with a green dot in it and a smiley face. Touch the Photo in the tool bar. It will turn blue. You'll have to touch it again. It will give you a drop down menu, saying select from "Camera or File or from Web." Move your next touch about a half inch to the right, near the far right end of that menu or it will confuse the program. Select from "Camera or File." It will take you to another screen, touch "File". Then touch "Gallery" where your images are. Add photo from "Gallery". USE YOUR SKINNY finger.  :-) Touch the pics you want to upload and when done, touch "Done." Actual uploading takes a few seconds per pic. Wait till they upload. You'll get a blue tag notice, saying uploaded. If after you upload them and find they are sideways, touch the sideways pic itself. It will give you a menu to your right. Touch "Rotate right" and it will rotate and be perfect. Hope this helps.
