Posting a Picture inside a message

[dascrow]

First in another window go to the Photo Gallery and select the picture you you wanting to post:



I normally just use the mouse to highlight the image, and just the picture!

Next right click on the mouse and click on copy:



After that go back inside the message your posting and click on paste:



If it displays just text when you paste, you will have to change the editor mode. This is located here:



After changing the editor mode, try to paste the image again:



Thats Its!

Another way to do it, is

copy the link of the picture you are trying to post and add

PHP Code:

Well, I must be doing something wrong. I can not get a photo to copy from the photo gallery. I am doing just as you instructed:
1. Go to photo gallery
2. Left click on thumb nail picture to be copied
3. Once larger picture is portrayed:
a. Right mouse over picture and click "copy"
(left mouse clicking over picture only gets you in toggle mode of "larger" or smaller picture.
4. Open another tab/window in internet explorer and goto "quick reply" section of the posting that you are doing.
5. Get cursor into message section and click right mouse button to "paste" picture from photo gallery.

My "paste" is grayed out which means I never got the picture copied properly when I was in the photo gallery.

Any suggestions????

Trying using your mouse to highlight the area. Right click on the mouse, hold the mouse button down until the picture is highlighted. Once the area is highlighted, then click on copy.

Still can't copy picture. When I left mouse over the picture I get "O with a slash(like no swimming & no smoking signs). If I start my left mouse in the area before the picture, then continue over the picture, the whole picture turns gray. I right mouse then click "copy" and still it does not copy into clipboard. Is there something specific to user's signon that prevent copying?

I have just attempted it, first attempt failed, as I copied 'image'.
You need to make sure that you copy 'image adress' which will give you a URL ending in 'jpg'

I had a problem also at first. Look at Dascrow's images. Change the "editor mode" in the top right corner. It is shown in Dascrow's image with a Green Square around it. Once the editor mode is changed, just paste your picture and it should work.

Or dump all your pix in Photobucket.com and just copy and paste the IMG code under the photo to the TundraTalk message box. Write your message in the box first.
