How do you get more simple than doing a copy/paste from your computer to
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.
Well I can tell you nothing works if you are using an IPad. This seems to be the only site you can not click on the picture box and simply insert photos from your saved photos. Doesn’t get any simpler than that. 😉

OK, looks like it must be a mod thing. I can't copy and paste with s new profile I just created.

My apologies to all.

Yes.
I remember your explanation and I do see the little blue box but it won't drag.
When I click on the little blue box I get the "visual search" icon.
No drag.
I'll give it another shot.
Testing, testing...
I tested and again no luck.
I guess it's not a big deal.
I always use the "insert image" on the top line and "click here" which brings me to my pictures. I click to open and bam the picture (super-sized) opens here.
Let me try the "insert image" in the bottom left hand corner.
Hey...
It worked.
That's more like it.

How does one go about opening a post?
I am curious to see if the blue box thing works for Bob.
Bob...
Is that a hosta?
The one with the stalk of gorgeous little flowers?

Maybe not so little.
lol.
It's probably the size of the image that dwarfs the flowers.
What is the variety/type do you know?

I still can't post pics
Maybe it should be made easier
When I click on pic option, it wants a web address

As AE mentioned previously, direct copy/paste seems to only work for mods and "metal level" members (platinum, silver, etc).

Here's another possible way to do it(see screen shot below). First, click on the square that's in between the smiley face and what looks like a paper. clip. That will open the box that says "Drop Image"(or click here). Click on it. That will open Internet Explorer(if you have Windows}. You'll probably have to resize it to get it to look like in the pic. Scroll down to "Pictures" and find the pic you want to post. Left click and hold down on the pic you want to post and drag over to the the box where it says Drop Image and release:

Btw...
J.D., if you see this, I got the little blue box but, as fast as it appeared, it disappeared.
No chance to drag down the size.
