How do I copy and paste a picture I want to share? I can copy it okay but when I try to post it, I can't.  The paste option does not work and I tried Cntl v and shift without result.  Thanks in advance!

The picture must be hosted somewhere on the internet.  You don't actually copy the picture, you point to it in the post and your browser loads it from that location.

Assuming you have done the above, it is very similar to adding a link.

  • Open the picture in your web browser

  • Right click it and select properties

  • Copy the address (URL)

  • Click the insert image button (right next to the insert link button)

  • Paste the image url

    Just remember, hotlinking images is viewed in a poor light.

    Hotlinking = linking to images on your website without the permission and/or knowledge of the host provider of the image.  You use their bandwidth at their expense.

    Most times, you can get away with it.  Other times, you'll get an image showing up in its stead immediately or later asking you not to hotlink images.  Sometimes, you'll get rather rude images instead of the one you hoped to display.

    I want to share a picture from http://icanhascheezburger.com. (if I figure out Unicus69's instructions! ) I don't want to have a rude image pop up - as far as I know this site allows their pictures to be shared. Do you know if that's right?

    Look for their ToS or Terms of Service on their site.

    Free sites
    www.flickr.com
    www.photobucket.com
    www.openshoebox.com
    www.snapfish.com
    www.shutterfly.com
    www.hpphoto.com

    Recommended Pay Sites
    www.fotki.com
    www.mac.com (must use apple)
    www.magnethost.com

    Note about the Free sites, if an image gets too much usage, it'll get removed.  Flickr is notable about this one.  But I doubt things will get too much use here.

    Here's a picture I used to use for people who hotlink my images.



    This is like a church picnic compared to some of the anti-hot linking images out there.

    (No, no anti-hotlinking in effect for my images.  yet.)

    I can Has Cheezburger is specific about their wanting people to use their artwork: no hotlinking.

    They encourage people to copy the image to another website and link to that. I keep a few pages (that I pay for) with various Creative Commons licensing attitudes where I rehost various lolcat images (including ICHC). I link to my site, not the original host.

    You hotlink from my site, and this is one of many images you might get instead:
    If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

    I know. I try not to get banned here, though.

    Once at the old IVS Forum I used one directed at a specific person (who became banned, but for other reasons):

    If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
