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

You are not alone, I have tried to insert pictures from different sources, Google Drive, One Drive, DropBox, and a few others to no avail.

Maybe we get help :)

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...

Like this?

In this case I right click on the image and the menu has several options. In this case I just "copy image" and then come down to my post and "Paste"

 

 

 

In this case which the image was taken from US Audio mart,, I used the "image" icon  (above, inserted URL and title

Hope this helps

Or, Right click on picture and just "copy Image like the 1st post. But It came from another site which is what I meant to show.

type words, now insert a pic i copied, now paste

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 am using a PC. Not sure how its done with a tablet if that is what you are using. One thing I have learned is that text must be above or below picture. And I have to often do some hard returns (Enter on the keyboard) so as to get room for text above or below the picture.

@artemus_5

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

Right click, choose "copy image". NOW open a new post by left clicking. IF you don't see "Paste". Click a second time.

You should be able to do it to this pic. in your next post

Got it. But who's the guy with the boot?

For image posting you need an address of the image to copy and that means going to a site that has a URL address. Using your own photos on your desktop or hard drive won't work. 

I use imgpile to hold/store my pictures, photos and what have you, using their image address. The site is free and easy enough to figure out. Once there, all you need to do is right click the image, select copy image address, and use that URL to post to the image icon (URL address) from above.

After that, you can fiddle with the size until you're satisfied and then post.

ok now on my win10 machine

let me try to old pic copy and paste routine here...

That is ME!! The other guy has a skin condition. :-)

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 🍻

woo hoo it finally worked...

 

If anyone can figure out why, with my Mac, when I post something from YouTube, it shows the proper size when previewed, but when I hit "post", the screen goes blank (white) and I have to refresh it only to have the video shrunk down in size, every single time.

I know to use the "source" on the upper right and to use "share" and "embed" and "copy" on YT's site but aside from that, nothing seems to work right.

Thanks in advance, if anyone knows, and,
All the best,

Hmmmmm….

 

 

Just upload your jpgs to https://imgbox.com/
Once they’re uploaded there are some boxes you need to check. Family Safe content, Thumbnail size ( use a large one-and note that there are rectangle options lower-called re-size). You can ignore the other 2 boxes.
Hit the start upload button. Wait a few seconds. You’ll see a new screen. copy/paste the Links Only address. Paste it in the Audiogon window and wait a few seconds. Do them one at a time or it doesn't work well.

 

So is possible to post images from my iCloud using iPhone 13Pro ?

Now that these technicalities are being addressed, can somebody explain how you insert a youtube link so that the image appears in the post, rather than just the standard internet link.  When I use the paperclip icon I just get the link, and when I use the picture icon, nothing happens.

For YouTube, you have to use the last icon on the right, the Source icon.
It will display text only but you can see in when you hit "preview". 
Hopefully, you won't have the same problem I have when shrinks the size of the video.

.....or just copy the file name of the YT selection and right click paste into this handy box.....

It'd be nice to be able to drag 'n drop from ones' desktop, but perhaps a bad idea in the long run...
