TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I used to do it all the time, by copy and paste. No problem. Since TCM started making their recent software changes to the boards, however, I can no longer do it, no matter which browser I use. Yet I do see some others are still posting pictures. Would anyone care to divulge how you do it now? Please feel free to demonstrate your technique on this thread, as well. Boy, do I feel dumb. (Or, should I say, dumber than usual).

MilesArcher Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Tom, Right click on the photo, then left click on "Copy Image URL". Then go to your message post and right click on the spot where you want to insert the picture, then left click on "Paste". Finally, put an exclamation point before the URL and another exclamation point after the URL,( no spaces please). Unfortunately, you won't be able to see it until you post. Then you may have to go back and edit because the size may be too big or too small. Also, when you first click on the photo, if the menu doesn't say "Copy Image URL", you are out of luck. I have found that some do and some don't. It may have to do with your browser. At home, I've been using Google Chrome, but at work, where I have Internet Explorer, when I try posting on my lunch hour, I can't seem to find that "Copy Image URL" option. Good luck! Here's an example. If I find a picture of Shirley Temple that I want to post, here is the URL that I would copy and paste. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSdbgon-sy8tFYgN8X31nIAsH06qZpMKTnCC_AJG-0PxDNeKAcBAw Now, when I add exclamation points to both ends and click on "Post Message" on this "Reply To Message" screen, I should get the picture. Let's see if it works. And it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swithin Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've been having trouble posting photos since I "upgraded" to IE 10. I had no problem with IE 8. Now I have to use another computer or another browser. With Google Chrome I seem to be able to post photos, but I need to go back and delete the link information.

TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks very much, MilesArcher. I will make a shot at it now through Google Chrome, because I also can't find the Copy Image URL with Internet Explorer. Here goes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks, Miles Archer. Great closeup, isn't it? A little too much so. Now I'm going to try to edit it through Photobucket (unless you know of another, simpler way to do it, which I would love to read about). That's great. It worked. Thanks again, MilesArcher (By the way, sorry about what happened to your counterpart in the film). But does anyone know if there is a way to edit a photo down to a smaller size without using Photobucket which, at times, gives me problems? Also, I copied this photo using the "Copy Image URL" from Google Chrome. Does anyone know if it can be done somehow through Internet Explorer?

Kid Dabb Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi Tom I've still got Internet Explorer 8 and this works there: Right-click the photo, left-click Properties (you should see URL in the middle of that window), right-click over the URL address, left-click Select All, right-click the highlighted URL, select Copy That's it. Just paste it where you want it as per Miles instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks, Kidd Daub. I have IE 9, but I'm going to give it a shot now. Quite frankly, the process looks a bit more complicated than with Google Chrome.

Thanks again, Kidd Daub. But the whole process with either browser sure is a lot more involved now than in the simple old Copy and Paste days. Thanks, guys, though, for showing me how how do it now.

TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 A final repeat question. Is there a way to edit a large photo down to a reasonable size for these boards without using Photobucket? I find that that website gives me problems at times. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Is your Windows Paint intact? Load your pic into Paint, then select the Image drop-down tab at the top. *Stretch/Skew* lets you increase or decrease by percentage (80 is 80% of original). Using Stretch alone has worked well for me. *Attributes* lets you resize by pixel dimensions. You'll have to play with it. Downsizing from a large photo gives better results than increasing from a smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJH Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Kidd Daub, I'm not very familair with Paint, so that's a bit beyond me technically. I tried to copy and paste a photo to it but it wouldn't work. Perhaps I'm stuck with Photobucket for re-sizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swithin Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks, Kid! It worked! I put up the link in Safari but added the ! in IE 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Alright, Swithin! So many browsers.. When I try to explain to someone how to do this or that, I forget I'm using Chrome and they're not. I'm always offering instructions that can't be followed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It works for me the same as before. Find the URL code of the photo, such as this: http://www.nndb.com/people/877/000278043/alice-white-3-sized.jpg Then use this posting code (exclamation point at the beginning and ending): !http://www.nndb.com/people/877/000278043/alice-white-3-sized.jpg!

FredCDobbs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 To post photos, use Plain Text, use the photo's url code, and use this posting code: !http://i44.tinypic.com/2eol451.jpg! This will result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casablancalover2 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe the preview button is missing and that is the challenge. Somehow, seems so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 On the board's main forum index, if you go way down at the bottom of the page to ARCHIVES and click on TRIVIA, you will be taken to a page that no one uses much anymore. Then look for the thread that says TEST YOUR PHOTO SIZES HERE. Click on that thread and use it to test your photo sizes and codes. A lot of us use it, and it helps us to get our sizes and codes just right before we post them on a regular thread. That way, you can make all your mistakes on that test thread and not bother anyone on the regular threads. I set up that test thread 5 years ago, and it has been working very well ever since.

scsu1975 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 >Perhaps I'm stuck with Photobucket for re-sizing. Tom, see if you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Before uploading a photo to Photobucket or any other site, go to Picture Manager, choose "Edit Pictures," then "Resize," then select "predefined width x height," then choose "web - small 448 x 336." The picture should appear at just about the right size on here. If you don't want to use this default size, you can use the "custom width x height" box and enter whatever sizes you like. Just below, in the "size settings summary," you will see the new size every time you change the settings. Just make sure the first number is no more than 520 or so, otherwise, it may not be small enough to fit on these boards. Play around with the settings if necessary.
