Dumb question - how do you easily insert a photo/image inline with writing text in a post?


when i try to insert an image, i click the 'image' button in the upper buttons zone above the posting space ... but then it asks me for a ’url’...

let's say i have an image in my google drive, or even on my computer local drive...

in my basic e-mail apps, you can attach an image with an ’attach’ button, which a-gon doesn’t provide, or even easier, just ’copy’ and then ’paste’ an image in between blocks of typed text...

i am not the most computer savvy person... any assistance would be gratefully received... :)

hey it worked!!!! yippee!!! -- seems like for some reason the chromebooks’ copy/paste to/from clipboard function doesn’t get along with a-gon... hmmmmm no idea why...

i do the exact same thing on my chromebook, and it does not work,but i do it with my windows 10 laptop and it is fine, the picture uploads and shows just fine

okee dokee... many thanks all who chipped in help 🍻

ok now on my win10 machine

yes i am using a chromebook - that might the problem... might be some incompatibility in the picture copy/paste function to clipboard on these

i will grab my notebook pc in a bit, and try same functions using that machine

@artemus_5

thank for trying to help... i just did the copy and paste thing for an image on the prior post just below/above... but when i tried to paste in the copied image after my typed text, i got a little tiny dot... then it disappeared totally when i hit ’post’ 😣

otoh, i can see if there a pic on a webpage, i can copy the link to that webpage, then put in the pic button’s ’url’ space, then the site will pull in that picture...

i was told the only way to do this is to link the photo to some specialized picture storage/sharing site like imgur where we need to have the photo previously stored (having it on our google drive or our local drive does not suffice) - but one needs to set up an account there with username, password and all that - ugh... need that like i need another hole in my head

don’t know why they make it so difficult to do something very simple and commonplace - on another thread i wanted to show a picture of my setup, as another user was asking how my speakers were placed... a picture posted would have been self explanatory...
