JPG display in posts

Hi all, I’m trying to create a site for my students to upload homework to in the form of a JPG. I would like them to be able to Upload the JPG in a way that is “idiot proof” and have it display in their reply to my homework forum posting.

Posting links to images currently just shows the links. And I haven’t been able to find a plugin that will allow that.

I’ve installed the BP album plugin, but that is overkill for what I need. I really want students to simply click on an attach image button and have that attached image displayed in their post.

Is there a way to do this?

thanks!

The forum will understand HTML, with a simple “img src” you can display the picture in the post.

Ok, that is a really good workaround, the problem now is that my students are not that clever. I don’t mean to bad mouth them, but If it can’t be done without thinking, they are not going to be able to do this on a regulare basis.

is there plugin that will automatically parse a URL that links to an image? or even an “insert image” button?

thanks!

I did some more digging on WordPress, and what I’m looking for is something like the “Comment Toolbar” plugin. It doesn’t work in buddypress though.

That would be perfect if it did.
