Title: Easy question for the computer folks
Post by: 777Godspeed on November 24, 2018, 09:35:11 AM

How do I copy and paste a picture to share on the boards?

Godspeed,
Mike

If it's already online, right-click it and select "Copy Image Location" (or similar option, depending on your browser). That'll give you a url that you can then post here surrounded by [img ] and [/img ] (without the spaces). I usually wrap all of that in a spoiler tag as well, just to keep threads neat.

If it's not online already and just on your computer, it's a bit more complicated. You'll need to upload it somewhere online - I usually use imgur, since it's pretty quick and easy.

Thanks... I guess on imgur I would have to join or something?

You can also host it on Facebook as long as it's a public photo.

I'm not on Facebook or any social media other than the Cactus Forums. So my prospects look dim. Thanks for all your input on this.

Godspeed,
