How can I include an image in a Discussion message?

You can upload the image to your locker and then point to the locker address when adding the image to your discussion message.

First, upload the image to your locker and copy the image’s ICON (locker) address:

  • Click Locker in the upper-left NavBar
  • Click Upload New File and browse for the image file on your computer.
  • Click Upload. (The image does not need to be made public.)
  • Right-click (Windows) or Control + click (Mac) on the image filename and select Properties.
  • In the Properties window, copy the URL (this is the “address” of the image in ICON).

Next, add the image to your discussions message:

  • Open or create your message
  • Click on the HTML Editor icon.
  • Click on the Insert Image icon.
  • Paste the URL you copied over the http:// in the URL field.
