Why doesn't copy and paste work?

You need to host the picture first
Google picture host
Then click on the picture icon to insert the link
On top of your proposed post
Or you can insert a thumbnail
Bottom of proposed post
By clicking on the manage the attachments button and load it right of your hard drive
This is the least favorite because it only shows a small picture

 

Sure I use photo bucket
Its very user friendly
Once you load the picture off your computers photo album
Photo bucket will give you a direct link to that photo
Then click on the little tab 6th from the right, above your post
Erase what's there and post exactly what you received from photo bucket

Please beware of inappropriate pictures and also make sure they are not too big

Not that you would, but its something you will have to edit for size and appropriateness

Hosting a picture is like placing it on line and creating a virtual address for it

 

Just copy and paste it within your photo album in this forum. Then you can use the URL that is supplied, to add your avatar.

Wish I had time for more details and questions. But i gotta go.
