why is it such a PIA to post a bloody photo here ? this platform is cranky as hell !

so, now the photo is online in my virtual system 'misc'., I’ll copy and paste from there

Yes, it has been accepting pasting anything you copy in your clipboard for a while now (it didn’t used to). That makes it easy to copy an image from anywhere, including from your computer and paste here. this is online, a simple copy and paste

...............................

Previously (and if they restrict it again), you had to know how to paste the address of an image that was already online,

1st, pick an online image, anywhere, right click it and ’copy image address’ (it’s url)

2. in your post here, top bar, click 6th icon from left, ’image’.

dialog box opens, waiting for you to paste the image’s url

bingo, it appears. you can name it anything in the ’alternative text’ box

lately, they come in distorted when I use this method, this is the same image that I simply copied and pasted above

I wrote some text, it disappeared, the image came in distorted, 

copy from my hard drive

paste

this is my new to me 2015 bmw 650i convertible on it’s way north from Tampa, FL where I found it with only 33k miles

OH NO, we got caught, it stopped working, I'm gonna upload to this site, then try the copy image address method

jond

image has to be online, follow my instructions above to copy and paste the image address using the 6th icon from the left, and if it comes in distorted, use the fix nonoise told us about, enter 500 in the width box

nonoise, tried copy address, it was coming in distorted, I entered 500 in the width, fixed, thanks for that

ozzy, we get what we don't pay for, 

I use windows, google chrome, a random variety of problems have occurred since I joined in 2019, 

timothy, others

I created a Virtual System on Audiogon, called 'MISC INFO' on this forum's computer, just for the purpose of posting an image, just used it 

open the list of 'My Virtual Systems' (you can have many)

list of my virtual systems

right side, actions, pick EDIT

upload any image from your computer, save changes, close, reopen it

now, right click the image, 'copy image address' (it's url)

then, in a post, 6th icon from left, IMAGE, paste the url

in width box, edit it to 500
