CALENDAR

When, I make calendar entries to the various calendars I like to insert a gif image or regular image.? Sometimes it the copy and paste works sometimes it does not.? Can you tell me what I am doing incorrectly or the proper way of inserting an image into the calendars.

Thanks

Groups.io does not store images in calendar entries, and the Event Description editor provides no tools by which an image can be inserted. Therefore, you cannot paste a photo from your computer desktop and have it appear in the calendar.

What's probably happening -- when it works -- is that you are selecting an image from another web site and pasting that into your calendar. In doing so, the paste inserts an <img> tag containing the URL of the original image. It is not stored in groups.io, but is instead pulled up from the other site as needed to display. If that URL later changes or the image is removed from the original site, a broken link will appear instead.

If you want to be able to do this reliably, I suggest you upload your images to cloud storage (Google Drive or some such) so the URLs remain static and you have some control of when the images get deleted.

Hope this helps,
