RealPlayerPosting a drawing
There's a drawing I found while doing a google image search...I wanted to post it to one of the threads, but the link refused to display an image; just a blue question mark showed up in my post.
However, I WAS able to copy the image to my computer's desktop as a jpg. Any idea how I can copy it to a posting on WTF?
Thanks.

Matt G.To insert a picture of any sort, the picture has to be accessible via the internet. A picture on your desktop is not accessible via the internet. You will need to upload that picture to a web server and insert an image link in your post.
Sounds complicated and daunting?
Get yourself a free account at either
PhotoBucket or
ImageShack. They both make it pretty easy.
Late to the party but for future references.
KathyK taught me this.
A pic from the web wanted?
Right click, then click on properties.
A long url ending in jpg is usually found about half way down in the properties listing.
Cut/copy that
Come back to your post and at the top is the picture icon - click on it
Fill in the blank with 'paste'
Voila, if the picture is possible, it will be there.
Once in a while one will just show an x. I try it twice and if it doesn't work, I figure that they have a block on it somehow.
