Using the instructions Al has put up in the sticky, when I right click for the drop down menu, I'm SUPPOSED TO GET, "copy image location", but that option is NOT THERE. Like my title says, I used to do this all the time. I don't want to start using Imgur or any other picture posting/storage service.
Sounds like it could be a limitation of the particular website. Is this across the board? If several sites don't let you get the "copy image location", it's either the browser or operating system.
The safest bet is using this site's album.
This is how to add photos to your post using the site's photo album:
Images tend to be smaller than hosting site's size, but can be full sized if you remove the pixel limitation, (e.g.
-600x360)— the numbers and the dash preceding, leaving no spaces, and ending in .jpg
1.) Login
2.) Go to My Account (may have hit Home button first) and scroll down to Album.
3.) Choose
Upload Picture (navigate to photo you've given a sensible name to),
be sure to then hit Upload.
4.)
Go back to Album, click on thumbnail to open full size image.
Right click (Windows); Control Click (Mac) and select "copy image location" (its URL).
5.) Return to your reply window in the thread and click on the
IMG button at the top of the compose window.
7.) Paste the image location into the window and click OK. (You can paste over the existing http://)
An example, of a thumbnail named "hms-penzance-1940" followed by -150x100.jpg is the name of the photo in my album, and the the -150x100 limits the size.
If I remove the numbers, it goes to whatever size at which it was uploaded, subject to web sized image limitations.
