@okbear had a great post here about how to use GC to host your images using the album feature on this site: http://www.grizzlycentral.com/forum...osting-pics-using-bb-code-gc-your-thread.html
But what if you don't want to mess with adding an image to an album, especially if it's just for one image for a specific reply to a post? I figured out a simple way to use the site to host your image, have it displayed full size, and do it all within the features of a single post.
This is how I do it using full version site, Chrome browser, on Android phone. But since it's browser based the steps should be identical on Safari on iPhone, or any browser on computer.
Keep in mind that the first many steps are just what you do anyway for the regular attachment of images anyways. It's only the last few steps that are additional for using the attached image for embedding right into the post as full size.
First thing to do is go to preview post so you can get to advanced options to attach images with the "paperclip"
Click on the paperclip symbol:
Click on "choose file" and select the image you want to use
Then click on upload
Then click-hold on the image you just uploaded and copy the link address.
Delete the start of the url and then paste in the link address you just copied:
So there you have it. Images hosted within the same thread they are used in, while also being viewed full size in line with the text and no need to click on the thumbnails to view individual images.
That is how I did this entire post.
I'll take a quick pic with my cell phone of the wood stove I'm sitting by and post it right after this post, to show how it looks in a simple post.
