Betty LaRue Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hmmm. I tried. Didn't work. OK, drag-n-drop worked. Large photo, I read that you do a search like a customer. RT click on the photo, copy image location. Click picture icon above reply box. Paste into popup OK, did that, not large photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I did it yesterday in the "Subject| thread, and I know many use it in the thread about finding images. For other stuff, I upload to my own personal website and link to there. Dragged this one from my website. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokie Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You can use the image icon (bottom row, 11th from left, green square) and paste in the url, which you can obtain from the image by right clicking, then properties (in windows). John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 There is this My Media button in the Reply to this topic window. Just nobody knows how it works or should work. It could be the solution for images that are not available on the web. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Doug, Open an extra tab in your browser. Drag your photo to the tab of the page were it has to go. Wait a moment till that tab opens. Drag your photo to the box on that page, all the while holding your mouse or pen button. Releasing the button over the box will drop your photo there. Releasing the button somewhere else will usually display your photo in your browser. Or put it onto your desktop. Now with Flickr it's slightly more complicated, probably because you disabled the download feature, which is why I will not publish it here. I'm not too familiar with Flickr, so I could be wrong. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jordan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I asked a similar question about 3 weeks ago. Answers on this thread. http://discussion.alamy.com/index.php?/topic/2148-how-to-show-an-alamy-image-in-a-forum-thread/ I found out that this routine works OK in Firefox but not at all in Internet Explorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Someone suggested this to me: "Try uploading your pic to a free hosting place like http://postimage.org/ - you can then use the link they give you to embed it within your blog post." Instead of using the ever-controversial Flickr. Using images from your Alamy collection is easier. Trying to explain the step-by-step of how to do this in text is lots harder than doing it. Wim does as well as possible in explaining, but I suggest you calm down and fool around with it for a while . . . and who knows? It may work. Good luck. And this is what Alan posted once . . . right to the point: "I open the required image to Desktop as if a customer. Ensure the forum location is open where I wish to place image. Simply left click and hold on image on Desktop and drag to location on forum. Image appears on forum as if by magic. Allan" And thanks to Peter.

Ed Rooney Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 With maybe one exception, I agree with everything you said, Mark. On another level, I wonder why I can't move an image directly from iPhoto to the Alamy forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
