Good news for picture posting!
Our moderator for the Technology Corner forum, 1492, has done all of us a great big favor. He developed an app that can be used to post pictures here on the forum which greatly simplifies the task. ...

Ok call me stupid
I have dragged and dropped, I have hit select and I have copied and pasted to the link and I never get a url. I save the link form this post, do I need to delete it and resave or not save it to my computer?
You open the link that I gave to the website. When the website opens, you then drag a picture from your computers "my pictures" folder or wherever you keep your pictures onto the opened picture posting page. After a few seconds your pictures will appear in miniture with a box under it containing the URL. Copy/paste that URL into a post on this forum.
Instead of draging and dropping, the website also gives you the option of opening a "tree" window where you can then select which photo you want just like you do when you attach anything to an e-mail.

I'm having trouble as well.
When I open the link and try to right click where you say to, I'm not given an option to paste. I can right click all over that window and cannot paste.
I have Windows 8.
Thanks for any help.

If you are talking about pasting a link into the app then you must select one from your computer first. Easiest to just open Window Explorer and drag the picture from your "my pictures" folder onto the app page.
Have you copied a picture from your computer? You must select which picture before you can paste it into the app. That is most likely the reason you are not given anything to paste (upload) into the app.
If you are talking about the URL that appears under your picture in the app, then just copy it and paste into a post.
Take a look at the third post from the top by 1492 in this thread which will show what you are supposed to see after you upload your picture and what you are supposed to copy from the app in order to paste into your post.

I open this window, Link
When I copy an image, I cannot not get the right click to display paste where it should work.
If I left click on the select image below, it does nothing. It is not a clickable button. I think this area is my problem. Just do not know what to do about it...
