Copy link to paste in browser

6 years ago

I am using the online basic (free) email program Incredimail. It is certainly not the greatest, but I have had trouble attempting to change it long ago and very recently and I think it simplist to just work with it.

What I want is a way to copy a link from Incredimail and paste it to Firefox or what ever browser I choose. If I click on a link button in Incredimail it takes me to the outdated browser and fails. If I right clic or hover over the link button, I can see the usually Very Long link text, but I can't seem to find a way to copy the text. Moving the mouse over the text makes it disappear. A right click Copy doesn't copy anything. Any idea on how to grab or copy the link?

I have used incredimail for years with my aol and road runner email accounts and have never had trouble like that with clickable links in my emails. They always open fine in the default browser I had Windows 7 which was IE and now edge on windows 10. Only thing I can think of is to delete the email account and set it up again. Have you gone through everything in settings to make sure something is not set wrong? Mary

Not a well regarded piece of software. Why use any program at all for email? It's not necessary.

I read it puts ads in outgoing messages. Is that true?

Some of your chids I went to your page-the third item under every picture says HTML CODE: LEFT MOUSE CLICK IN HTML CODE( this will help you select it) Then move your mouse over to right slightly(pale yellow bar) and use RIGHT CLICK BUTTON on your mouse and press copy. Come back to forum and just PASTE it, it will start with a and end with a. There is also a test forum that you can try it out. Good luck

urlee, I must have some setting haywire on my computer.Â I cannot even highlight....then copy in this Computer Forum.Â When I try to highlight something on a webpage, I highlight it.....but with a blinking dotted line on the outside of the highlighted area.Â It is the same type of thing.....if you are going to crop a picture (that kind of dotted line)I can highlight....then copy from an email...then paste to another place.Â Â It is okay there.Â So It appears my problem is only with Internet Explorer.....and with a webpage.Â Do you know of any setting that I might check?Larry

copy/paste image into Gmail?
Q

I'm sorry, I'm not making myself clear. I'm wondering if I can highlight an image from a web page, copy it (right click/copy) and paste (right click/paste) an image into GMail the very same way I can do it in Thunderbird. I'm trying to avoid having to save the image to a directory and then retrieve it to post it in an email. Does that make sense? I may be asking for something that isn't supported in any way by Gmail. :) bob14, I might be misunderstanding GMail, but in my version there appears to be an alternative way to insert an image as long as I have enabled "insert image" in the labs (which I've done). According to the instructions I should be able to click on the "insert image" icon, click on "web address URL" and paste the URL of the image. The image should, then, show up in the email. That's what I'm not able to get to work correctly. Maybe the answer to my question is...no. Thank you both very much!

Someone have a link for free Chrome browser?

Click the link from asm198's post. It has W7 listed under the blue "Download Chrome" box. Make sure you change to get 64bit and NOT 32bit as that link shows for. Click on "Download Chrome for another platform" and the 64bit is there. I got my Chrome from there a couple days ago for my new windows 7 tower I just bought. I also have been using Chrome on my windows 7 laptop because it is faster than the other browsers. When you click to DL something, it automatically goes to the Downloads file in your personal folder. PS: I had to get used to that. I preferred to have a choice to where I wanted my DL's to go. Mainly a folder I named myself. If there is that option with Chrome, I haven't hunted to see.

As Mary eluded to, what is your default browser? If you click on a link outside of Incredimail, what browser opens? I’m not familiar with incredimail, but one would think it opens the default browser on your computer...

- My self I can't stand online email and a mail program works so much better for me to save an organize mail. I mostly do email from my phone these days and like a mail program better than a mobile browser to check email. Personal preference I guess. From what I remember the only add at the bottom of the email is for incredimail but think that goes away with the paid version. I don't have my paid version set up at the moment since I hardly use a computer these days. I tried them years ago and it was simple for me to set up 2 email servers in it and worked perfect for my needs. Tried other programs and just didn't like them as well. Mary
