Posting pictures

[Duke Silver]

The last week or so I can't post pictures on the threads. I've been doing the same thing as always with copying the image location and the pasting it in the dialogue box, but now only the image location code is showing up. I like posting pictures. What's the problem?

OK, appears that the way I've always done it still works, for what it's worth, Duke.

All I do is open a second browser-window and call up whatever web-page has the image I want to post; and then simply drag the image from the other page into the body of the post I've created. Like, right now, I've got that Duke Silver image open in another window, and I'm dragging it into this post:





Works fine.

The catch, for me, is that it has to be Firefox-to-Firefox. I view IT in Firefox but use Safari for most other stuff; however, if I try to drag an image from a Safari window into an IT post on Firefox, what shows up is just the URL-code. (Similar to what you're talking about I think.)

Whether that has any bearing on what's going on with your posts, I dunno. But if you haven't done the drag-and-post thing, might at least give that a shot....

Use the IMG tags.

Take out the spaces though.

That's the first time I've tried the drag and drop.

BWG, that's what I've been doing. It now seems it only doesn't work on certain pictures or something. I don't know.

It seems it's just this particular pic I can't post.

I bet it's the **** that's screwing it up.

Why don't you just right click on the picture, click copy image location then click the "insert image" icon on the toolbar, right click paste then click submit reply? That works every time for me.

Oh, you may be right. You don't want to offend anyone with a cuss word.

Rocking the "stand-alone" stache these days is a bold move, Edition. By chance, do you drive a miata, lol, ?
