Having trouble copying an image to post.

Normally I'd right-click and go to "Copy Image URL", click on that and make sure
the ending reads ".jpg"

For some reason, "Copy Image URL" does not show up anymore.

Suggestions, please? thanks.

I have Ad Blocker, so I click at Block Element, which gives me another panel with the
.jpg address.

I highlight that to Copy, then on the area where I want to paste, I add the "http://www." to it.

Seems to work OK for me.

... if you paste it into a text field. Test it with this:

Some sites will employ various measures to make copying pictures more difficult - but for most images on the web, the right-click 'Copy' option should work.
