[Forum] Wrapping Text around an image?

[RobAC]

One of the biggest beefs I've always had with vBulletin is that it's so damn difficult to try and wrap text around an image in a post. Is there some sort of magic trick to do this?

I have HTML enabled, I've tried aligning the image, I've tried using table code....nothing works...

The closest I've come is using table code to align the image - which looks perfect in the editor, but then when the post is submitted, the end result is awful. There's an enormous gap between the text that spans the height of the image.

When you insert the attachment, are you then clicking on the image and selecting to align it right or left?

Lynn,

In the editor, when I add the attachment inline, and click on it - nothing happens. It doesn't give me the option to align it left or right. I can drag it and drop it anywhere in the post, but the text will not wrap around it like in your example above.

When you insert the attachment, are you then clicking on the image and selecting to align it right or left?

Are you talking about attachments or just images?

Attachments. Is there no way to align attachments? Is my only option to upload the image to my server it call it in the post that way?

No. You can insert inline from your computer. Like this:

Too bad; in the editor there is a nice margin between the picture and the text.

It is only attachments that you may align. You need to be using the WYSIWYG editor and then you may double-click on the image and select to align it and select what size it should show as.
