Now i don't know if it's only my pc who dosent display them where they shoud be but for me it's only the text line and then the image appears down like if i haden't placed it inline wich would be quite problematic for my story... so if you know a solution please tell me as i tried to rest everey options of my user control panel but it just dosen't do anything...

It looks like this on my computer (and I think this is what you were looking for?):
Attachments

bondage /'bɒndɪdʒ/ noun & verb. ME.
A The condition of being bound or tied; fig. subjection to authority, constraining force, or obligation. LME.
‣b
spec. Sadomasochism involving binding, handcuffing, etc. M20.

It could be that in your first attempt at an attachment you hit some button that screwed up your attempt by inserting something inside the attachment link itself; I've done that occasionally thanks to a glitchy keyboard that would randomly move my cursor and therefore mess up my texts. Anything at all inserted inside that link will mess it up; even a space bar. Anyway, i'm glad your problem is fixed now. Next time you have a mystery like that though, feel free to ask me for help. That's partly what mods like me are for.

I have found that if you use the Open Office program (free download), and write your story in it, attaching pictures is reasonably easy. The picture can cover the whole page, or just a portion. Once you have it where you want it, find and click on "Optimal Word Wrap," which will fill in the blank space next to the picture. Once you have what you want, you can "select all," then "Copy," then bring up the forum in this site where you want to put your story, put the cursor in the upper left corner of the field, and hit "Paste."

It takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

I'd wondered how you got your attachments to look larger than usual but it never occurred to me to actually ask. Sounds like a very useful tip. :big:

Personally I use "Libre office" ... dunno if it changes a thing or not...
