The photo you want to post will have to already be on the internet somewhere. If you have a photo you want to post, and it's not online, it will have to be stored somewhere like flikr or photobucket.

Do you understand what I mean?

Click on the image icon (tree). Enter the image URL into the box labeled Image URL. Make sure you see the image in the Preview box. Click Insert.

Sometimes you can just copy and paste, like this:

Just right-click the image, "copy image," then, in the "post a reply" box, right-click and "paste." If that's not possible, the other method is only slightly more complicated.

Go to the photo.

Right-click on it.

You will get options.

"Copy Image Location" - when you get to that, just left-click on it. You now have the URL.

Come back here. Under Post a Reply, go to the 5th icon, the one that looks like a TV screen. A box will open up.

Right-click into each box.

This should transfer the image (the url) into the box.

Go to the left bottom side of the box, and click "Insert."

Your photo should show.

The last icon on Post A Reply is the preview button, you can click that to check and make sure it's showing up.

That should get your image posted.

If the picture is online somewhere, this easy method has never failed me.

suzyQ3, I actually didn't know you could just paste it in - LOL! Much easier. Bwahahaha............figures I'd be doing it the HARD WAY.

I feel pretty silly.

I use FF. I never have a problem. Try this:

1) Right-click on the image you want to copy and click on "copy image."

2) In your comment box where you want the photo to show up, use Ctrl V. Your pic should appear.

If you have Facebook, just "copy" the photo using the right click button on your mouse, open a reply box in the thread you want to place the photo, and then "paste" the photo into the reply box.

I used to use Photobucket, but they changed it and I no longer use it.

One reminder: Digital images often contain personal identifying information (e.g., geotagging, names on various websites and accounts), and it's easy for anyone to look at the image info. Keep that in mind, and be careful if you allow geolocation or if you're copying from accounts (like Facebook, Photobucket, etc.) which display your name or other personal info.

I don't like Photobucket anymore either. Even Flickr is becoming a pain in the butt.

Just so that the OP realizes - there is a distinction between pictures are already ON the internet, via either a website or you have uploaded YOURS to a photo host like Photobucket, Flickr, etc.

If the pictures are on your computer you need to upload them to a photo hosting site, including Facebook of course, before you can copy and paste them here. If you copy and paste a photo from your computer to here, you will be the only one who actually sees it.

If the pictures are already somewhere online - hosted or on Facebook, or WHEREVER online - you can just copy and paste from there.

I'm glad it worked for you. I have no clue why "paste" didn't. I always use the "Ctrl V," though.

If you're using a tablet, these instructions won't work.

Just use the other method then.

I use Tiny Pic.com Sometimes I have to use Adobe Photo Shop to resize the photo so it's not so large when I post it. The copy & paste works when I find a pic online but not always.

Hi, MJ! Nice to see you!

Thanks. It really is important info for those who don't wish to disclose their personal ID info here.
