So, what icon do you hit on that site that will give you the address to a picture so you can use it in a forum like this?

With PhotoPoint, it was a piece of cake, try as I might, I have not seen the icon that leads me to the address?

Anyone know?

There is no such button because the forum doesn't need such a button.

Your browser has such a feature already.

With Netscape, for example, on any other site, such as, for example, my site, you just place your cursor on the image, right click, and select the menu option "Copy Image Location." This will put the picture's URL into your paste buffer. You can then come to the forum, start your post, type the magic [ img], paste in the URL, and the magic [ /img], and that'll put the picture into your post.

The problem here is that the picture remains on the site where it's originally hosted. If the webmaster there changes the photo or removes it, it will change on your post or your post will break.

For example, more than once I've been surfing eBay and seen a familiar picture. That guy's selling MY knife. Well, he's actually selling a similar knife. But, it's still not the knife in the picture. It's not right to show someone one picture and then sell them something else. It doesn't upset me if the seller says, "My knife is similar to the one in this picture." But to say or even imply that it is the knife in the picture that you're selling is unethical and wrong. So, I just replace the picture on my site with something choice. After the auction closes, I put back my original picture.

So, if you want to actually get your own copy of a picture off of a website which you can save on your own disk or host on your own site, with Netscape, place your cursor on the picture, right click, and select the menu option "Save Image As". Fill in the resulting form and click "Save." This will save the picture on your system's disk.

Please respect other people's copyrights. This doesn't mean you can't use the picture, but give credit where credit is due.

And that will allow me to link the pic in here using brackets? I'm confused now.

On PhotoPoint, you could simply view the address to the particular picture you wanted to post. I was talking about ClubPhoto and not this Forum, but how to obtain the address easily of the particular pictures to post here.

I know there is no icon on this forum to do it.

Chuck,

I don't think you understand what I was asking at all. Then, you edited your Post after I came on and clarified it?

What are you talking about? I'm talking about posting my pictures from my ClubPhoto Account, not stealing anyone else's pictures at all.

I know how to Save a picture, right click as you described...I learned that when I got on the Internet.

I usually ask permission if I can have a photo in E-mail and place it in my Account and that is incredibly rare and Eric Blair can vouch for this as I wanted to put his Rattlesnake Picture in the Account.

I have no idea what all of this Copyright infringement is about.

Again, let me explain this, if it sounds the same, oh well.

If you have a PhotoPoint Account and you are in OWNER MODE, the address to the picture for posting it on the Internet is visible.

On ClubPhoto, in OWNER MODE, I do NOT see the address except in my browser which will not post the picture, but the whole PAGE the picture is on.

Geeeeeeeez...

Anyone else?

Cool your jets big D.

Note the times of the posts, please. I thought I understood your question after reading it once. I thought I would take some of my time and try to help you out because I'm a nice person and I like to help people. So, I made a response. Then, I had misunderstood your question and given a response that didn't address your question. So, still wanting to help you, I editted my post.

While I was editting my post, you, always quick with the tongue and quick to the keyboard, responded to my incomplete response.

Remember, when I'm editting my post, I can't see your response.

I'm trying to help you here Don. There's an old saying about biting the hand that feeds you.

Don, I never accused you personally of trying to steal anything. I mearly reminded anyone who might be reading this thread that in borrowing materials off of the web, they should respect other people's copyrights. By the way, that doesn't mean you can't use someone else's materials. But, it does limit how you can use them.

As to your question: With Netscape, for example, go to your ClubPhoto page, place your cursor on your image, right click, and select the menu option "Copy Image Location." This will put the picture's URL into your paste buffer. You can then come to the forum, start your post, type the magic [ img], paste in the URL, and add the magic [ /img], and that'll put the picture into your post.

Now, it is possible for a webmaster to disable the Copy Image Location and/or the Save Image As menu options on your browser. I've only run into this in a few cases. This option trys to allow image owners to protect their copyrights. Of course, it can be circumvented without to much trouble, so most webmasters don't bother with it.

Furthermore, some of the PhotoPoint-like photo hosting sites refuse requests refered from forum sites. Why? These photo hosting sites are not charities. They're trying to make money. They make money when you see the ads on their sites or when you order copies of pictures, coffee cups, etc. When they serve a picture to a forum site, their ads and their sales stuff don't get displayed. So, serving forum sites takes a lot of their bandwidth and doesn't produce any return for them.

I do not know if ClubPhoto has either or both of the restrictions mentioned above. I am only offering those as cautions to anyone else who might be reading this thread and wondering where they should host pictures that they intend to include in forum posts.

Stand back...

Give me room...

A drum roll, please...

Chuck,

You're damned near psychic. It was the one with the YoYo and Hackey Sac I was going to post.

Now, let me see if it works with this crappy AOL/Internet Explorer.

Sorry,but this post is a little OT

As to Chuck's comment about websites that have the copy image location & save image functions disabled,yes it *is* very easy to get around that

Any photos that I pirate are for my own use at home.I don't post them anywhere,and never will.I just got them because I like to look at them or use them for reference.
If anyone wants to learn about Copyright stuff,I stumbled across a good site recently..it's: http://www.benedict.com/
It shows you the basics of Copyright and how it can be used for your stuff,and also how others can use your stuff.

Chuck,

I just have to lift it out of the browser as ClubPhoto is a bit different from PhotoPoint. But, on this Browser (IE) and AOL, it will not allow me to do what you described. Surprise, surprise, AOL sucks! Hahahaha
