Help needed please

[Sasha222]

I thought that the only thing I could use was the copy and paste and that would only work so I can put the stuff in my pictures so in my document?

[Raistlin]

Yep, you should be able to

[Sasha222]

The thing I wanted to use it for is like when someone has a birthday and you can put the birthday pic up or say for smilies that you cant do with pictures that you can do with photobucket and thats why I was trying it out today

[Raistlin]

Ok, so ...

You don't actually want to save the pictures locally (on your machine).

You want to include a picture from the Internet in a post?

If you tell me exactly what you're trying to do, and with what, it will make it a whole lot easier We could be going round in circles all night otherwise

In fact, provide a link here to an image that you're talking about and tell me what you want to do with it and we'll go from there

[Sasha222]

When you go to photobucket you set up the images you want and then in files and then You copy to save them but I dont know where to they save to. If you save them to the pictures in the documents then they become fiddly to try and post them to a website but using photobucket seems way easier if I could just the funtion right and where they actually go to once you press copy.

At that point im totally lost

[Raistlin]

If you're right-clicking on an image and then selecting 'copy' you aren't saving that image to anywhere that you can use it, other than to 'paste' it into another document - which you're said is 'fiddly'.

If you have a picture in photobucket and you can find the 'URL' for it (that is, the web address for the specific picture that you want) then you can use that address to insert the picture into a post.

Again, if you can link me to an example in Photobucket I can probably show you how to do it - at the moment though I'm flying blind because I'm still not 100% sure that we're both talking about the same thing . . . sorry.

[Sasha222]

No your getting the right idea of exactly what I want to do. I will try and link you the photobucket

This is one of the ones I set up

[Raistlin]

Ok, so .....

You are saying that you might want to do something like this:

[Ben B]

When you hover over the image it says IMG code with a box next to it with writing in it, right click the writing, choose copy, then paste it into a post on here and then click the post button as you normally would. Image added for help

[Sasha222]

Exactly and then hold it in a file that will allow me to keep it till I want to use it but it wont work when I put it in to the picture file on my documents

Thanks so much Ben.

[Raistlin]

No, it won't.

You're better leaving it in the photobucket until you want to use it, then do as Ben has suggested above to get it into the post.

Ah right. I done everything right so and its not possible so paste it anywhere so only to leave it in photobucet til its needed

[Raistlin]

If you copied it to your computer you would only have to upload it again whenever you wanted to use it and then do as Ben's described above.

Better to leave it online in the photobucket and then link to it whenever you need it.

[Sasha222]

[Raistlin]

No prob's and yes of course
