I have already read many threads in this section of the forum but I didn't find the answer yet. I have a custom list under construction and I would like to add some images/screenshots in it. How can I do that? Is the answer the Image example in the "Basic html allowed"? Can I use images that don't exist in Listal and how? Thank you!

You can host the image elsewhere for example on your own photobucket or imageshack account or what is probably best is to upload the image here to Listal under the appropriate item, click onto the item page then place the cursor over the image, right click view image to get the direct url & use that. You could even hotlink that image from your list back to it's image page using < a href="image page url" >< img src="image url"></ a > (again without the spaces). So if folk like the image they can click on it & cast a vote. For example in my latest list I have linked the image in the description to it's item page. Hope this helps. :-)

You can re-size it using < img src="url" width="000" height="000" > The easier way to figure out a good size is opening an empty image on paint, put it in a size you think will be good and enter ctrl+e. Make sure the size is set in pixels. If you want it so people can click the image to view its full size: < a href="image url" > < img src="image url" target="_blank" > < /a > target="_blank" means it'll open in a new window, but you don't exactly have to use it. Enjoy!
