    I can figure how to post my own pics, but not the ones like the overhead satellite view pulled of the web.

    I use Google Earth, you can put almost any address in it & see that address at street level or birds eye view. Google Earth Download Link :biggrin_25520:

    ok, I know I am hijacking the thread with my inability to post the pics, but please bear with me. I have Google Earth, so I know how to get to the pic. But, I don't see the little mountain thing above where I write, I use Firefox, but checked IE just to be sure, neither one gives me the little yellow box. I have tried just tried to do it again, and heck it ain't doing it.

    I am in Germany right now, and Google is slightly different here, so maybe that is it. I give up. I will just do as I always do, ask someone to fix it for me. Thanks for bearing with me.

    I use Firefox & IE7 & Google Chrome & Opera, all depends on what I feel like using that day. And they all have the icon you are talking about.

    One way to do it is Get the photo from Google Earth then paste it in to "paint" or a photo program on your PC & save it to your PC then move it to a photo account like photo bucket or ImageShack when it's there get the IMG code & just paste the code where you type.

    Never mind the other icon thing. Just make sure after you save it to your PC that you resize it to 800x600 or around there. That's how I posted the screen shots above & the ones below. Just paste the img code that the photo bucket account gives you. Everything in this post is a screen shot done the way I just explained, except I used ImageShack to get the code links to paste.

    nah you will probably have to take a screenshot of the image, paste it in microsoft paint, crop it and host it on imageshack.com

    it sounds alot harder then it is...i am terrible with computers but ive mastered doin this....when your on a site like google earth you cant just right click the picture and go to copy image location
