SeanMacGabhann Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Quoting previous posts is easy enoughSee the quotation marks next to the Smiley face juuust above where you type a reply? Click on that and paste the quote into itImages depends - if it's already on the web, copy the link location (right click on the image). then click on the icon 3 to the left of the quotes - should look like a postcard with a mountain and a sun? - and post the link in to that Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5457-photos-in-text/#findComment-174928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Quote Thanks Sean, still having problems with images though, when I right click on website image I get the option to copy but when I go to the 'Inset image URL' tab it won't come up with the paste option, only copy or cut...

SeanMacGabhann Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 what browser are you using? I'm using Internet Explorer (because I'm at work and I have to!) and if I right click on an image location I get an option to "Copy Shortcut"If you have opened the actual image itself in the browser (eg clicked on an image and it has opened up the full picture) then the address in the address bar will probably end with .jpg - you can just copy that whole address as text (if that makes sense!)

red devil Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi Sean, doesn't appear to have worked. I do have IE, and I get the option to copy shortcut, but it doesn't look like it reads it as a jpeg file...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7912593.stm Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5457-photos-in-text/#findComment-175004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 looking at that link it would appear that it's not a picture but an embedded video (if you mean the larger of the pics?)But Hey - if anyone wants to see what Red Devil is trying to show...

red devil Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 That was just an example Sean to see if it worked, still at least if someone comes onto the forum requesting a cure for insomnia...
