Posting Pictures In-Thread Using An Apple Mac Book: How To Do It

13 years ago

I have an Macbook and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me how to post a picture from a different website in-thread rather than in a link at the bottom of my post.

I did a search on the forum but only managed to find a desciption using a non-Apple computer. Since I cannot 'left' or 'right' click, I need help! Please tell me like you would tell a five year old. Step by step... Assume that I know nothing, because I really do know nothing about this-after being on THS for six years! Sheesh. I'll have to practice until it's second nature to me. Thank you!

I have a new mac with the right click option, but i think on the macs without it you just control+click on the picture you want to post to get the image info. then follow these instructions that someone else posted here and I copied to remember myself:

Go to the website with the photo, put your cursor on the photo and RIGHT click (you would control + click) and a box will pop up.
select and click on VIEW IMAGE INFO
A box will appear with the line LOCATION: followed by that photo's location on the web starting with HTTP and ending with JPG.
Copy and paste the location into your post at GardenWeb.
Type in front of it img src=
It will look like this:
img src=http and so on, ending with jpg
Then add carets at the beginning and end.
Preview the message and if you don't see the photo, something has gone wrong.

It is complicated to explain, easy to do. It's easier if you print this out and follow the instructions.

I have 2 more thingscompliments of the squirrels! Guess theyre good for somethingmaybe! I was gonna pull these out and just throw them away, but........... The first one I pulled out came with the acorn still attached to it, so I dug up the second one and theyre both now in pots! I have 2 oak trees! I assume theyre Gamble Oaks (Quercus gambelii), just because thats the most commonly found oak in this area, but I really dont have any way at all to be sure! If they are Gamble Oaks, they could wind up being anything from a single trunked smallish tree to a multi trunk bush kind of thing that looks more like scrub oak! There are two of them planted in one of the display gardens at Paulinos (they sell them), and one looks like a tree and the one right next to it is more "bushy!" Since I dont even know for sure what they are, theres no way to tell what theyre gonna look likebut they do have oak leaves!!! They will also spread somewhat, underground, I believe, and when they produce acorns, they will reseed fairly easily! So if somebody wants to take a chance on what they are and give them a try, Ill bring them along. I recommend them for somebody with a bigger yard, rather than just a tiny residential yard. Theyre still attached to the acorn and have very few roots. I would recommend growing them in the pots for a month or two so you can control the water better than if they were in the ground, and Id recommend you use a wet/dry cycle. Theyre completely saturated now, let them dry almost completely, then resaturate, let dry, resaturate........ Assuming they are Gamble Oaks they like it dry, and letting them dry almost all the way before watering again should help them form roots. Anybody interested? Skybird

This info is utterly outdated, even on GW right before it was taken over by Houzz. You can't post photos the way this thread describes anymore. Now, if the photo is on your computer you just click the photo button below the post composition area and navigate to the photo you want to upload, or you can link to a photo on Houzz. You can't like to places like photobucket anymore. ETA To clarify, you actually can link to sites like photobucket, but you will get a text link, not a photo appearing in the post.

Good job all of you. It is really cool to be able to do this for the first time. My son wrote out the line of code and taped it to my computer monitor. That's how I finally got it, by being able to read it right in front of me everytime I wanted to insert a photo. Note for any who are testing their skills.......when you type out your message and insert your photo, the photo WILL show up when you hit "preview message" before submitting. So, if there is no photo on the preview page, there won't be one on the real deal. Red

The Seagate was very easy to use. By set up, I basically mean I had to plug it into my router and create a user name and password, create an account for my mother-in-law so she could watch movies from her house that I store on my device, and create non-public folders on the Seagate to store my movies and music in. If you want to be able to access your movies and music on it from your phone or something, you'll also have to download the Seagate app onto your phone or iPad. It is called a network attached storage (NAS) but it's a NAS for non-techy people who don't want to configure network permissions and stuff like that. It is really nice to have it and I especially enjoy that my Apple TV recognizes it automatically because it's got some kind of special thing that communicates with Smart TVs so you can effortlessly access the movies and music on it. Here is a review and longer description of how it works for those who might be interested: https://www.pcmag.com/review/359110/seagate-personal-cloud-3tb

Thank you, Ladies! In spite of my touch pad and the fact that when I "right click" on the image it gives me the prompt: "Copy Image Address" rather than Locations (which saves me the time of highlighting and copying the long string of characters), the directions were perfect.

I will copy these and keep it for future reference. For now, I'm going to post more lovely pictures. Thank you!

You can make your touch pad to do the "two finger" right click.

Please help me post from my macbook pro. The instructions didn't work for me. I did not get the message to select and view image photo.
We are buying a home that I will need lots of help on.

Gingerjars, open a Photobucket (or the like) account, and post pictures from there. You cannot post a picture directly from a computer hard drive.

Looks like it worked fine! You won't see the photo unless you preview it.

Thanks so much for the help. The house we are buying needs so much work and I will be honored for all the help I can get. As you can tell from the pic this will be one of the first place we will start.
