Are you on a computer or a cel phone?

Where is the picture you want to publish?

Is it on your desktop?

I know you're addressing another member, but in my case I'm working from a laptop. The photo is on the same device. Same result whether I'm in D.R. or U.S.

OK.

Go to the photo on your laptop and 'open" it.

right click on it, and select "copy"

come here, click on the text box of this message

Right click on it, and select "Paste"

Step by step:

First step:

Can you open the picture on your laptop? (You have to open it to copy it.)

If you can, can you right click on the picture and get the options menu like this?

Why did you write Copy and paste in message box??

I followed your earlier instructions to copy the photo and paste it here. The result was that only "Copy and paste in message box:" appeared as a message but no photo attached. Not a big deal. I can always use postimage.org should I have anything groundbreaking to post. Thank you for your efforts!

I just tried copying and pasting a photo by clicking on the paperclip then hitting Control + P

My new post on Starlink Global was duplicated by mistake!

Hey, my pleasure.
I, myself, had been having frustrations over the usage of these codes.
It was your comment about the code symbols being "greyed out" that got me to zero in.
So...
Thanks to you too.
BTW
I am experimenting with the blockquote with this post.
Hope it works.
Edit:
It did.
Many thanks to playcaribe2 for the push.

Well I must be getting old or just not very Savvy at trying to post pictures. As nothing seems to work for me🤷‍♂️ With that being said is there any way that we can post pictures directly from your IPad photos would make things so much easier. Thanks for any help..

How do you get more simple than doing a copy/paste from your computer to here?

My issue is sizing the photo once transferred. My attempts to do so always fail.
J.D. once tried to explain it to me but I still don't get it.
Anyways...
I just thought I'd throw a little sunshine into the day with the above coleus.

Just click on the picture and you'll see a little square in each corner. Click on one and drag it larger or smaller.

Nope - doesn't work for me - and I'm pretty sure I know how to copy/paste

I’m not sure why it works for some and not others. I know moderators have different/additional options, so I’m thinking that possibly different poster categories (silver, bronze, etc) give different posting rights. The categories used to appear under ID/Name, but some choose personalized titles (like you). That doesn’t change the category though.
