Hope someone can help,i am very green to computers and need a little help please,i have joined a forum and enjoy posting messages and links to things like youtube and bing images,my problem is with copy and paste,if i go to bing images and hover over the picture and right click it offers a copy option but when i go to click for pasting on to forum the paste option is not available.Others on the forum have pasted pictures ready to see straight away,the best i can do is to copy and paste the url,hope somebody understands my problem and can help.

Thanks,Pepe.

Pepe Welcome
Try this
Go to what you want to copy mark it off, hit cntrl and c at the same time and then copy.
See if paste works then.
Maybe even better, do what I do. Save pic to desktop or documents. Then copy and paste from there.
Finally try to
Right click picture, store as, then copy from there. Several methods, try each.

Hello Pepe!

Unfortunately, your cannot paste images into forums as you can in other places, however, it can still be done!

If you have a URL, you need to convert it into a image URL rather than just a URL by using IMG tags.

Simply type tags anywhere in your post.

[noparse][img]URL goes in here...[/noparse]

Also, you can click on the IMG button (marked in red in the screenshot below, and then paste in your URL into the new dialogue which pops up. (be careful to make sure that there is only one copy of http:// at the beginning, not two, and depending on which web browser you use, that dialogue box could look very different to mine)

However, if you wish to use a file on your computer which doesn't have a URL, follow these instructions: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/289032-screenshots-files-upload-post-vista-forums.html

Feel free to try out these techniques in this thread!

Good luck!

Richard
