fly boy3 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Could mods please re position this if in wrong thread. Correct way of linking a picture on a thread, into a thread. Is it only copy/paste ? CheersEdited By fly boy3 on 18/01/2012 21:48:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Let me see if I understand the question! Are you asking how would you insert a picture, say in this thread, that is already in another thread or link to that picture - yes?

fly boy3 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I will try again, can I copy/paste a picture say on a Tim Hooper model. Then open another thread and past that picture into it. Hope that clears it. Thanks. Perhaps this is not linking. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 fly boy3It would appear that a 'copy' of an image on one thread can be copied into a 'reply to topic' box in any thread.I can see no other way of doing it.

BB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Five examples of 'linking'. The last example is a 'Copy & Paste' affair. 1) Below is a hyper link to a pic in another thread.Picture 2) And below is a picture resulting from an inserted Url link when you click on the 'insert image' Icon at the top of the posting window. This produces a pic from another thread. 3) Below is a link for the thread that contains the pic Thread title - "Tim's next project" 4)Failing all the above you can copy a pic from a thread to a photo album of your own making, and post from there. 5) Copy&Paste - Below. I find it a lot easier if I open a second tab in my browser for this site. Then in the thread I am 'linking' into I copy the necessary 'link' from the thread I want to copy from, from the 'other' tab I've created. Quite a versatile platform this is really.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Copy and paste is the only culprit really BB, the pic is a bit too big so has pushed the page across under the ads. I just tend to fill a photo album and then insert the piccies from there. Our people are working on a direct upload facility so look out for this in due course.

BB Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thought you'd gone walkabout David after I saw Timbo on early duty a few minutes ago. Either that, or, he ain't been bedeebys yet ! Your quite right. The 'Copy&Paste', can in some browsers destroy the window pane, resulting in a distortion to the page. a bit like linking from 'Word' incorrectly. I normally do as you say. Nick the photo & repost. Still after a 13 hr shift lastnight Im happy me brains still functioning enough to find 5 examples....Still 3 nights off now to recover BB Edited By BB on 19/01/2012 08:47:58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 FB I think both methods have already been mentioned but: 1. Save the photo on your PC then use it as you would any other photo. 2. A more elegant solution is to open the photo in the existing thread, copy the photo's own URL then paste this URL into the er.... URL box. Like this: which in this case results in this: Edited By Chris Bott on 19/01/2012 11:15:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Cheers Chris, exactly what I wanted to know. What a forum we have. Thanks. Fb3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Another daft question, Chris , you mentioned an "elegant way" above, If I right click on a picture in a thread, it does not have an URL ? I think I will have to transfer the picture to "my album" then move it where I want it using the insert picture icon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly boy3 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 @ Chris I think I have cracked it, right click on picture> open link, Hey Presto an URL.! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
