Hagg Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm having trouble embedding pictures from a web page into a post here (in the Political Cartoons section). They come out as a link to the picture instead of showing the picture as others here are doing in their posts. I tried using the "link" button and also tried not using it, and tried copying the picture directly. Only thing I have not tried is downloading the cartoon pic to my hard drive then uploading it to here; is that necessary? I'd rather not do that. Any instruk sheeonies would be appreciated.

I'm on desktop most of the time. I can pretty much always right-click on the image I want, choose "Copy image address" then paste that into a post. It resolves as the image and away I go. That's not quite as easy on other devices. What are you using most of the time? Quote Link to comment

It's not as simple as the "Copy image address" because that's not an option on there I'm not sure how to get around that 1 Quote Link to comment

It appears that the images I'm wanting to post are copyright protected at that site and protected by disallowing that right click ability. I don't want to mess with that out of respect for the artists and the site's (assumed) reasoning. I suppose I could "view source" and find the image and fanagul a way to do it.. but I'll move to other sites that don't have those restrictions. Quote Link to comment
Lorewarn Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 You can also screenshot your screen and upload it somewhere like imgur as an option Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Related question? I'm no longer able to attach ANY image to a post. I always get the window File Size Too Large, even if it's a super small file like I've uploaded many times before. I am also unable to access library content in the same way (too long to explain, but irritating). Both of these have been going on for over a year, making me wonder if there was some sort of generic update that I missed. I access the board mostly from my Apple laptop. Quote Link to comment

Probably an obvious question but are you using all your space quota? Quote Link to comment

Is there a cumulative space quota just for uploads to HB? Historically I haven't posted many images and almost no videos, but if there's a setting let me know and I'll check it out. Thanks.

Under your account drop-down in the top right corner there is a My Attachments page. It has your usage in a big bar graph right at the top. Quote Link to comment
