Using the New Photo Gallery to post pics in the Forums...

[northern_outdoorsman]

Ok I have seen a few problems reguarding this...It is not like Hunting-Pictures.com where you just copy the URL from the top of the web page. Here is what ya do:

Get the Photo Uploaded in the Gallery.

Click on it to view it FULL SIZE.

Right Click on the pic, then Left Click on the "Properties" Tab
In the Box that Pops up Left Click to highlight the URL of the pic there...*Note: Make sure ya hold down the mouse to highlight the URL and move the Mouse down to make sure ya get the WHOLE URL address.

Next while the URL is Highlighted in blue, Right Click and Select "Copy"

From here you are back to the normal way to post a pic having the URL Copied....

Now go to your Post and Select "IMG" and when the IMG box pops up type Ctrl V and the URL will be put in, then ya hit Enter!

Thanks

[northern_outdoorsman]

No problem Steve...I edited one post and helped 3 others Via phone and the Campfire so I figued the time it took to type that was worth it:D Not that I mind helping anyone...Cause I don't mind at all! Later!

[jpollman]

That doesn't work for me :(

I must have something wrong with my mouse.
Right clicking on ANYTHING doesn't work !

I tried to post a pic in a post but it DIDN'T WORK.

I did it the way that I ALWAYS HAVE.
I just bring the pic up on screen and use my mouse to higlight the address in the address bar and hit "Ctrl-C" (that copies the addreses to the clipboard)
Then I make the post and use the img tag. Then just use the "Ctrl-V" to copy the address into the image tag.
When I try to preview the post I just get an "X-box" :(


My procedure is "a little" different but basically accomplishes the SAME THING. This is the way I have always posted pics in a post and it has always worked.

Oh well :(

[northern_outdoorsman]

JPollman...You Have to be able to right Click on the Full Size picture and select Properties. That is the only way to get the proper URL....Also, I haven't tried it yet but when I was on the Phone with Splitshot it seemed like the Ctrl-C didn't work and he had to Right-click and select copy there too...I know the Ctrl-V still works though....Mabey it is time for a new Mouse????

[jpollman]

Well, it still doesn't work.

I can bring up the picture FULL SIZE on the picture forums.

I can go up to the top menus and select "Properties" from that menu and highlight the address there. (It's the SAME address that shows in the address bar) Copy it and put it into a post with the IMG tag and it still just displays an X box.

I'm not going to screw around with it too long. If it doesn't work, so be it. I'll use hunting pics.com and do it the old way

Thanks for the input.

PS
I fail to see the difference of "right clicking" or manually typing in the SAME ADDRESS into the IMG tag. They BOTH should work.

[northern_outdoorsman]

RIGHT CLICK on the PICTURE itself! Then a Box will pop up and select Properties there. That will get ya Just the Pictures URL, and not everything else on the page too! There is a difference in the URL's TRUST ME!

Does that help? Let me know...

[northern_outdoorsman]

You have to right click on the picture...the pictures URL is Hidden. After you Right click on the picture and hit properties, you can just write down the URL of the Picture and Hand type it in the IMG box, it is just the long way, you are right that part will be the same...

[jpollman]

I think I'm going to try a new mouse Don :D

I'll let ya know what happens.

Thanks again

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Steve, I did what Don said above about manually typing in the URL but that didn't work either. Hate to be a pest, but if I can get this to work it would eliminate you or Don from taking up your time. Thanks for your patience.

[northern_outdoorsman]

For the record, Jpollman bough a new mouse and then it worked for him Mike....Did the right click/copy work on the other photo album?

Also, please check your PM's Mike...Thanks!

[WALLEYE MIKE]

I don't understand why I can cut and paste other things but not a URL for a picture. Of course I still don't understand how the internet works either.

[mich buckmaster]

Mine is doing the same as Walleye Mike. I right clicked and cant copy and paste.

[Downrod]

Hey Northern Outdoorsman

I'm having no problem copying and pasting the URL to my post. When I hit enter, I just get Xs instead of pictures:confused:

I could use some help

Thanks
Downrod

[northern_outdoorsman]

Steve, what is the deal? 3 people now have had problems after highlighting the URL...they can't right click to copy the url????

DownRod...Make sure you are following the directions EXACTLY....You have to Right click on the Bigger Display of your picture to get the right URL....Tell me what post and what pic and I will try to help....

[Steve]

Don't know. Either they don't have a right mouse button or are using browsers made before the dawn of man.

[Downrod]

Northern Outdoorsman

I copied the URL from the enlarged picture just like you said ( No problem)

I pasted the URL to the IMG box ( No Problem)

When I submit the post all I get are Xs

Do you have to leave the HTTP// in? I copied over that

[Downrod]

Sorry guys,

I wasn't copying the entire URL, I left off the upper line of text
oops!!:o

Sorry for being a pain

[mich buckmaster]

Hey Steve, This computer is a brand new top of the line computer and the right click of the mouse works on other applications. I was just wondering if it had something to do with a setting or maybe the server was a little slow. Anyhow, I tried it at work and it worked fine. At least I know how to post now.

Thanks NO and Steve

[WALLEYE MIKE]

OK for all you computer guru's out there. I got a new mouse today and still can't get it to copy and paste a URL for a picture in a post. I bought a optical microsoft intellamouse. My old mouse couldn't do this fuction either. Now what?

[northern_outdoorsman]

Wow Mike, you have me lost on that one..other than making sure the mouse arrow is on the "Blue Highlight" when ya right clickI have no other Clue....

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Don, you said the magic word. "ON" I highlighted but had the arrow in the box but not "on" the highlighted area. I just did that and it now comes up "copy". Thanks problem solved.

[northern_outdoorsman]

I am glad ya figured it out! I don't know why that came to me I just said it off the top of my head...LOL! Must be the "Clear Mind " from catching my 1st "Opening Day Trout"....:D

[WALLEYE MIKE]

Your initial post with instructions did not include put the mouse ON the highlighted area. I had the mouse in the box but not on the highlighted area. Us non computer older guys need every little thing explained to us in great detail. Thanks for all your help!!

[northern_outdoorsman]

Bump

[MGV]

Try high lighting then using the keyboard controls. ctrl c for copy then ctrl v for paste. I haven't tried that but found out hotmail last night will not take the right mouse click. Used the keyboard just fine.
