This has made me wonder how you guys link photo's from the 'web' into your posts.
The only way I'd be able to do this, would be to download the pic.....Then put it in my photo file.....Then upload it to photobucket....Then put it onto the forum..Which all strikes me as rather time consuming.

Is there a quick way of doing this ?

Right click on the photo.
"Register URL of the image"
Then on the forum :
Click the Image icon.
Paste the URL.

Done

I actually didn't think Nobby would be that hairy in real life but, there you go!

I saw the pic in a magazine....And with the polar bear being named 'Nobby'.....I just had to find it on the net.

In real life, Nobby is Ricky Tomlinson's stunt double...apparently.  ;)

Techno, for me the process is to go to the image, right click then "Copy Image Location" NOT "Copy Link Location" and NOT "Save Image" (unless you actually want a copy on your PC!).

Then use the usual "picture icon" to create the "[/img]" tags and paste in the link you copied.

Like this :)

It was male pattern baldness that meant I had to give up the job standing on the mint.  :(

They are!

Don't like them though; too sweet!  Can't beat an extra strong mint :)
