Help! How do I Copy/ Paste image to POST?
« on: August 08, 2015, 11:14:58 pm »
Sorry for such a stupid Question. Was told to right click and copy the picture. Click on the mona lisa icon which puts the img img in the posts. This is where I have problems??? I tried clicking between the two img (HERE) img and right clicking but paste is greyed out. Tried the same with control V - Nothing. How do I load a picture to the Post???!!! Help Please.

under the text box where you type, is says attachments and other options.. click that and you can attach an image or file. other wise i use http://postimage.org/   just upload your picture and click "hotlink for forums" then paste the text here. you can also resize it through that. easy and quick,

The attachment link doesn't seem to show in the post. Would like to insert pictures by descriptions. If attachments will do this please let me know. Thanks for the reply. :lol

no idea what you just said... lol

for me.. exactly where i am typing these words, right under  it says attachments and other options. after clicking that a little menu appears, and i can click "Choose file". When you click that, your folders should pop up.. just navigate to your photo..
 Other wise the link i posted is very simple.. You once again just click browse, select your photos, resize, if its adult material or not, and then upload. then copy the text next to hotlink for forums" and paste that text into this box.

If thats not what youre trying to do, im not sure. I dont have time to screen shot any of this right now

MartyKong -- Sounds like you were trying to copy/paste an image (right click, "Copy Image") instead of a URL. (right click, "copy image location")

Link from a website like photobucket:
Click on the icon then paste the URL between the tags.
Code: [Select]
[img]http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif[/img]
Upload the picture as an attachment: (Preferred method)
Under the box you typed your post into, there is a "Attachments and other options" link.

Click on it, then on the browse button and select an image to upload.
