I Used to Post Pictures - Now I Can't

That looks a bit complicated (but appears that it would work).....Firefox....one word solution...

Stan, I am using Win 7, so had to borrow my colleague's desktop computer (he is using Win 10). As Al has mentioned, it is a little bit complicated. I also suggest using another browser (Chrome is my favorite). If you insist using Edge, here is the solution:
1) Open Edge

2) Type about:flags

3) Check [Show "View source" and "Inspect element" in the context menu]
From now on, whenever you right click on an image you will see 2 more options: View Source and Inspect Element. To copy the url of an image:
1) Right click on the image

2) Select Inspect element

3) You will see a pop-up window with lots of texts and image url

4) Right click on the image url and select edit

5) Highlight the url, right click and select copy
As you can see, it got a little bit complicated thanks to Microsoft.

Sorry Javan, View source, and Inspect element, are already my bottom 2 options. I tried your way, and a couple of other things, and nothing worked. I LIKE MICROSOFT EDGE, because my battery lasts the longest with it,(according to Microsoft). But I guess I'll have to give Chrome and Firefox a try.

I have a brand new computer, and I tried Edge for a few weeks, but it tracks so much of what I do, it's scary. I can just talk about something around it, and I will get offers associated with what I was talking about. The wife and I were discussing kangeroos, and while talking we had offers for vacations to visit Australia, kangaroo tours, things with kangeroos quilted onto them, kangaroo everything. It was scary.
At least when I use Firefox nothing like that happens.

Plus, Edge wants to put itself onto all of your devices and it does the same thing on them. I spent a whole day erasing Edge from everything. Maybe a little paranoid, but it happened too frequently to be a mere coincidence.

OH, f**king MS. I can understand them jimmying things around to mess up those with Macs, but changes like the above that simply mess up their own users is INSANE.

You can always trust MS to say the absolute truth..... But this doesn't compute: a browser chock full of tracking runs on less power than those that don't?? Gimme a break.

The latest iteration of Firefox is so wonky I had to go to Edge. I'm not a happy camper as I've used Mozilla for many years. Edge works but, not a comfortable as older Firefox.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Is Chrome a viable alternative? It's my secondary browser, with FF a third. (but I'm onna Mac)

Since the Photobucket issue, I rarely post pics anymore. Its too bothersome, especially when using a Ipad.

 

[huntertrw]

Perhaps your hardware and software needs to be updated?

Inspect Element to find the url is too complicated? If the pic isn't worth a couple of your seconds then it isn't worth the space on this sites hard drive.

I have the new Firefox Quantum and don't have any issues. I can't see where it functions any differently than the old Firefox (again, that's with Windows 10).

So...your house is bugged. Hopefully you don't have your camera covered because whatever or whoever is listening to you wants to see inside your house as well.
It's a brave new world.

Okay I went ahead and switched to Firefox. Now when I get to the point where I have clicked on a pic from my album, and I right click on the photo, the choices that drop down are now these: View Image / Copy Image / Copy Image Location // Save Image As.. / Email Image.. / Set as Desktop Background.. / View Image Info // Inspect Element. Tell me what works please.

 

[jvnshr]

Select "Copy Image Location".

It is like saying "Dunhill tobacco burns more effective in a Dunhill pipe".

Inspect Element to find the url is too complicated?

From an objective point of view, it is.

I’m still using Postimage.com. Easy peasy. It’s free. No signing up either

Stan - here's a pictorial essay on posting pictures.

Using Firefox worked, and now your punishment for all your help, is me.

 

[jpmcwjr]

For a bigger dose......
