petervisser Posted February 15, 2023 #1 Posted February 15, 2023 I have recently had issues adding text below a photo. After inserting the photo into the post, I then move the prompt below the picture in order to add a caption. However, the prompt immediately moves to left hand side of the picture at the middle of the picture. I have never had this issue before and hope that you can suggest a workaround.

Solution Dr PR Posted February 15, 2023 Solution #2 Posted February 15, 2023 If you click on the picture you will see options for the position of the picture in the column (left, right or nothing) and to change the size of the picture. If you put the picture to the left margin the text will wrap around the right side. I just enter Carriage Returns (ENTER key) until the cursor moves below the picture. Always put a blank line (ENTER) immediately after the picture. This behavior changed a bit a couple of years ago with an upgrade of the forum software, so some old posts may have some misplaced text around pictures (they need the extra blank line below the photo). Always save the post and then look at it. You may have to edit it (click on the three vertical dots at the upper right of the post, and select "Edit") to add an additional blank line or two to get the text to the position you want it. mtaylor, Ryland Craze and Obormotov 3 Quote Phil Current build: USS Cape MSI-2 Current build: Albatros topsail schooner Previous build: USS Oklahoma City CLG-5 CAD model
mtaylor Posted February 15, 2023 #3 Posted February 15, 2023 Phil has a good work around. Mine is to do a couple carriage returns, move the cursor to the top and insert photo. Then add a CR or two and carry one with the text.

petervisser Posted March 2, 2023 Author #4 Posted March 2, 2023 Hi Guys and thanks for your suggestions. I am still having difficulty inserting the caption below the photo but have found a suitable solution. I move the photo to the left margin and insert the caption midway down, beside the photo. I'm not sure why the previous method no longer works, but hey, this works just as well.

I can´t see the option to change the size of the picture? I can see the option to adjust its location (left, center or right) but I don´t see the option to change the size of the picture. As you can see in the snip below, the picture is highlighted and it says the adjustment is to the left, but I don´t see any option to change the size there? Where it says "Size" on the left is just for the size of the text, not the picture.

Hi James, thank you for the answer, but it still doesn´t allow me to set a size of the picture. Am I right to think that I would have to reduce the size of the shown picture before adding it to the thread? Which means the picture is smaller in size already and therefore smaller. I know that this means as well that details might get lost since reducing the size also means reducing the accuracy of the picture (except when cropping it).

No, you can add photos full-size and resize them afterward. That's what I do -- create the post first, then resize the pictures before submitting it. To pull up the resizing tool, you simply double-click on the image. Gregory, Scottish Guy and mtaylor 2 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
