Will someone please tell me how to add a book cover image to a comment? Here is an example of what I'd like to know how to do. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Nothing can be done about that in this group. I'd suggest you post in the Feedback Group if you want it changed.

Click "ADD BOOK/AUTHOR" above the Comment box.
1) On the BOOK tab, type the title (and author's name) in the Search box.
No results? Remove any spaces at the very end/beginning - and extra words like "author" and "by" - which may appear if you cut-and-paste the title and author into the Search box.
Too many results? Type the full title and author's name in the Search box.
2) Select the COVER button at the bottom, then click ADD beside your book.

MomToKippy, thanks for clarifying.
I was thinking of our group's Unsolved folder, in response in the original question. It would be helpful if more people added book links, as text or an image. This can be tricky if you cut-and-paste the title and author (or enter a prolific author). The extra spaces/etc. may prevent you from seeing any results (a problem I experienced early on).

Messages 15 and 16 were deleted because they were promoting an author and their recent book. Similar postings were found in other groups. (The content was not relevant to this discussion thread, and message 16 was a just reply to message 15.)


It looks something like this:
< img src="/image.jpg" width="40" height="100" alt="description"/ >
but without the spaces after and before the chevrons (if I leave out the spaces, it tries to put an image in).
You can leave out one or all of the width, height and description. I typically just put in the width: < img src="" width="90"/ >
