1) Right click on the image and select "copy image"

2) In the text box, right click and click "paste image"

3) A new box should pop up. Right click and paste the image into that box.

4) Hit O.K.

5) Hit Save

Make sure to right click when copy and pasting, not ctrl+C,  otherwise I'd say try to CUT and then paste.  I've had issues pasting, but when i right click, cut, then right click paste, it then pastes.

Are you going to an image online and selecting "copy image location" ?

(EDIT: I googled "Colombia" (stuck on my mind since that 30/30 documentary was on last night.  I got the following image and figured I'd post.

Ensure it is at least one quarter-inch bigger in all directions than the painting, drawing or tintype you intend to post.

Obtain a good, firm section of card board or heavy paperboard product from your local general store, and using your finest snips, carefully cut two shapes of the same size as the picture you intend to post.

Place one piece squarely on each side of the picture, and secure with twine.

Address your envelope, previously mentioned, being sure to give your postman a complete deliver address and return address as well. Clearly mark the envelope with a "Fragile" notation, and the postman will be sure to take extra care.

Finally, place your wrapped picture into the envelope, and then secure the envelope closed with a postal adhesive, or another length of twine. Weigh the package to find the appropriate postal rate, and place stamps for the same in  the upper right corner of your parcel. When the postman arrives, give it to him with a cheerful smile.

Congratulations. You have just posted your picture.

Are you... this isn't a joke? This is real?

Okay, internet 101.

MGoBoard does not host pictures except for avatar pics (the little ones up by the user names). You cannot post your really funny vuvuzela picture directly from your desktop to the board. It can't be done.

Go here.

Follow the instructions to upload your photo from your computer to the image hosting website. Once it is uploaded, copy the link titled "Direct Link", and then, when making a post on the board, click the little "image" button on the toolbar. In the window that pops up, paste that link into the URL area. Click Okay.
