How to post a photo from the internet on the Down Low

[pirate44]

first of all, if you have a photo that is NOT taken off the web, you'll need to host it via "image shack" or some other free hosting website. that's another lesson. this is to show you how to post a photo you found on a website.


1. go to the website where the photo is located.
2. right mouse click the photo you'd like to post
3. then left click on "properties"

up will pop the "Properties" box

4. highlight the file location (url)
5. right click and copy

5. now open up the 3A Down Low and either start a new thread or reply to an existing thread.
click on the "IMG" button.

up will pop a box

6. right click in the data entry area of the box and left click "paste"
7. then click "OK"

it should look similar to the screen shot below.
8. once that is done, add any witty comments to the post and click "submit"

Thank you Pirate44. I am sure maybe with a little practice I will get it down. I haven't quite got it yet but that is no fault of your instructions of course but rather the student. :)

THIS IS WHY I LIKE YOU SO MUCH!:clap: :clap: :clap:

I appreciate all of your random acts of kindness! Now, we MUST make Phil C. learn how to do this!:D

[Ranger Mom]

Very good instructions....one thing to remember though. Not all sites will let you link directly to them like that.

If that happens, you need to have an image posting site you can use. I know lots of people on here use Imageshack...I always use Photobucket.com (http://Photobucket.com) . These sites are useful to upload pics from your computer also!

[Ranger Mom]

Oops....now I see that Pirate44 had already addressed what I just said.

I don't know how I missed that in the first part of his post.

Thanks Goodness it's Friday!http://www.bettorschat.com/forums/images/smilies/new_Eyecrazy.gif

My problem is I don't think I have an IMG button.

that's cause you missed lunch :)

Seriously.. I am printing your post and keeping it for future reference! I do have a question.. when you click on the IMG - it has htpp:// - do you paste AFTER the "htpp://" or override it?

Phil, the IMG button is on 3A Downlow. Next time you click on "reply" to a thread, stop and look directly above the text box. You will see option buttons for all sorts of things, just like the emoticon (smilies) box on the left. IF you have "Enhanced Mode" checked in the box on the far left (above the emoticons), the buttons will work directly within the text box. If you have "Normal Mode" checked, you will see the option buttons, but they won't operate the same way. You will get "pop-up" boxes instead.

I see it!! Thank you.

[AP Panther Fan]

I'm not sure that I understand the difference between normal and enhanced mode. They look the same to me, unless I am just missing something....:confused:

[Phil C]

Thank you everyone! Especially Pirate44 for the patience to give the clear instructions to me and for 66 who provided that last missing link of information to me.

[SintonFan]

Great job 44!:clap:
I have helped folks do this for a long time and could never explain it near as well as you have. Kudos!:clap:

In the "Normal" mode, you get a pop-up box that you put the info into, and it inserts it into the text box when you hit ok. In the enhanced mode, it just puts the bracketed symbols directly in the text box.

That means when you want to post a pic, you click on IMG and it automatically types in for you. You then paste in the address and hit "Close tags" and it types in for you.

Okay, this is a test of the emergency broadcasting (I mean photo posting) system.

I did this in enhanced rather than the normal mode I usually use. I didn't see the "close tags" option and it seems like I did basically the same thing as always.
I probably shouldn't try to understand the difference (or fix what isn't broken).

Thanks '66 for trying to get a technologically challenged poster up to speed.:D

[Ranger Mom]

You are doing better than me...I never knew we even HAD a normal and enhanced mode!!

I am going to leave mine in enhanced just to see if something jumps up and surprises me.:cool:

Dont hate...appreciate:foul:

[espn1]

One other tid-bit of info. You don't have to waste a post or a Topic to see if you are successfully uploaded. Press Preview Reply, and you can see if it's going to look like you want it to. There's no need for Sig test posts.I can't tell you how many wasted posts have been placed just to see if a pic or a sig came through.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[pirate44]

sorry, wasted post

[espn1]

You can throw a sig in a post to test it.

I'm sure that's probably one of your main accomplishments in life. do you have a problem with anyone in particular espn1?
