 easier way to get pictures in a thread without going through the 10-step program?   Copy and Paste sure was simple, easy and quick.

 To me it's really not any different. You right click and instead of copy, click Copy Image Location. Then just paste into the mountain box.  Two steps that's it.

 Tracy - you use Mozilla right?  I think with IE it's more steps, not many, but more as we don't get that image location option when we right click.
Guess I just need to change browsers, huh?

 Tracy, it's not that easy if you have IE.  "copy image location" is NOT a right click option with IE.  You have to click on "properties" instead.  That brings up another screen.  There you have to manually highlight the url, then right click and choose copy.  That's 5 steps instead of 2.  Then there's click to go back to the message board window, click on the icon, right click in the box, pick paste, click on ok.  5 more steps for a total of 10 steps.

 I guess if we were having a race, 10 steps is a lot, but I didn't find it too awfully hard to do.

 Tracy, it's like a 10-step program if you have IE ~~~

find image, right click, click properties, highlight properties, click for popup box, click to copy, go to place to post image, click on mountain, click for popup box, click to paste ~~~ Heaven forbid you have your curser in the wrong place, and don't even try to do it fast.  LOL

It takes forever to post a couple of pictures this way. 

 It's not that it's hard to do, just a lot of steps and time consuming, and annoying.

 everything is more of a chore on here

You are right on that Wendy.  Some of the changes are good, but it's more work than fun in searching for things.

 I agree, it's alot of steps...just did it..thanks to your pointers!  It was pretty easy, however those of us with IE can't do fast postings during the crop..that's forsure!!! 

 I didn't realize it was such a big production in IE.

Time to switch browsers gals. *snicker*

 I am almost done fixing up the code that lets you simply paste images into the post.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

 And it works now.

 In IE, if you right click and go all the way down to "Properties"  copy and past the url link you can paste that after you hit the little mountain button

What's the code?  I tried the regular copy and paste and it doesn't work.  What am I missing?  Do we still need to do the properties??? mountain??? [/quote]  

 when you open up a message window to reply, just press F5 to clear your cache and you should be able to copy and paste like before... actually, better than before! Thanks Brandon!
