4. Good for you! I accidentally found out to do it, too. Hurray DU3!

Here's one for you:

Todd Rundgren from Wikipedia:



And the video is added the same way. Tx4obama showed me how to be sure it posts, use the link from the share button below the video.

Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me (1972):

7. Yes, the guys running this place are into that! Oh, I added some info for you.

8. my hubby was showing me and he was surprised he didnt have to put anything in front and behind.

so, all we need to do is

open image in new tab
go to the main picture.
highlight, copy link

does some pictures work and others not? we dont have to use a photosomething, now? it really is that simple?

ha ha

thanks

9. If you click on a picture and no new tab opens, it's a no go. You'll end up with the webpage.

I used to a long, long time ago on another forum drag the pictures from one page to a post. But I found out that was 'bandwidth theft' and quit that.

10. thanks for that piece of info. appreciate.

would give up and not try again.

11. What you need to do now is join a picture-hosting site.

A lot of people use photobucket.com. You can get a free account there, but if you pay $20 (?) for a yearly subscription, you won't have a lot of flashing ads to sift through; plus, paid subscribers get to use the editing tools.

Happy for you, seabeyond!

13. why? why do i need photobucket. they are posting. thanks

i just do not understand

14. It used to be (or still is) against DU rules to just paste the URL of a pic...

from another site into a post. (the reasoning being that every hit to that other site's server costs them money)

I think it is called blind linking, but I do it sometimes and, so far, no banhammer for me.
