chunkypeanutbutter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Before the switch, I was able to pull up a picture on Google Images, open it in another tab, copy the link, then put it in brackets with "img=" to get the picture to show up without using any PB data or putting it on here. However, I haven't been able to do it. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) You want brackets surrounding only the img and /img, not the link you paste. Works as you mentioned if done that way: Edited August 21, 2015 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTalmage Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I am having an issue w/ posting pics from my phone. I dont know if it's this site or Photobucket... but each time I copy a link from photobucket while on my phone (where I do the majority of my posting) I get this when I paste the link:"this HTML class. Value is [URL=http://s103.pho" ...and thats it. If I post from a PC no issues. If I paste the link into a text message on my phone, no issues. If I paste it to facebook, no issues. Just here. Very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Isn't this like the third time in as many years as we've had this change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) In Windows 7 (and XP), it still works the way it always did. (a few images won't directly copy because of the way the files are named; to get those, you'll have to save them in your own 'documents' file, load them into P-bucket, and recopy here) Right-click the picture you want to post here. When you right-click it, a menu appears on the screen. Left click "Copy image". Come back to the MCM page where you want to post the image. Place your cursor where you want the image. Hit ctrl-v. The image appears. Pretty simple. Edited August 22, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) It WAS there. Now it's gone. Probably an issue with the source. I have dozens and dozens of re-posted photos from outside sources posted on my build threads and tech answers.. Let's try again. Same technique, different source. Can you see it now??

MrObsessive Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 OK, that worked...........I'll try to use that method from here on out till the pic insertion issue gets resolved on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 if i copy the image and not the link it works. i am using Chrome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 In another thread, I right clicked "Copy Image" and pasted it here in the text field, and the pic showed up like this......................... This seems to work as well, at least on my end, and doesn't suck up MB on the users picture file space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I should have been more specific, but you guys figured it out anyway.I edited the relevant post to correct my oversight.As Slusher and Mr.Obsessive said, it only works if you left-click "Copy image" on the menu that appears over the photo you want to copy.DO NOT USE "Copy image URL". IGNORE "Insert other media" at the bottom right of the MCM text box. Both are next to useless for posting images here.NOTE: Because the images you copy this way are not stored on the MCM server, IF the original image is deleted on the site you copied it from, or if the other site goes down, the image will disappear here too.

Casey Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) No, it also works if you copy the url (web address in the browser's address bar), then use then add the IMG tags fore and aft, just like Miles was doing: Edited August 22, 2015 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Either one works, but it seems the "copy image" route takes longer, buffering and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Either one works, but it seems the "copy image" route takes longer, buffering and such. Interesting. I have a fast connection and a fast machine. It's instant for me. Either way, the image isn't actually on the MCM server...only instructions as to how the server can find and display it...because it disappears if the source site goes down. And there are still images that won't copy directly, where some sleight-of-hand is required to get them to post.
