Copying Pictures from the Internet

[whitedg]

I am having trouble copying pictures from the internet. Could someone please give me step by step instructions as it would be greatly appreciated? When I put the link in the yellow box with the mountain and sun, it does not apprear when I post. I have to delete the post. Also, when I right click, and try to paste it, it also does not work. Thanks so very much!:-D

There is another way to post pictures, which is to use the tags, which the image button does for you. When you want to insert a picture in a post, you need to right click on the picture to get its properties. You need to highlight the image url address in total and put that in between the image tags ().

Isn't what you described " hotlinking"? Sometimes that works and sometimes not.
Most of us use http://photobucket.com/
Open an account, then you can upload pictures from your hard drive or "copy image location" from a web pic by right clicking first.
Once you save it to your account, it will give you an IMG code. Copy and paste that into the field of your post.
What I like better about this method, rather than hotlinking from another webpage, is you can create albums, let's say, of all your Roloff related pictures, and have them at your quick disposal for posting to the forum.
