Freethinker, if you are referring to me, I have tried multiple times to copy and paste from Google without any luck. Before they instituted their new blocking system, I had not a single problem cutting and pasting. Maybe it is that I am using edge instead of firefox or chrome. I have tried various different methods to no avail. I find it very interesting that those links would paste for others and not for me.
I posted, not because I am lazy, but because some of the people who post here are much more computer tech savvy than I am.
Per HH "1) Right-click the picture you want to copy;
2) Click "Copy image address";
3) Paste into your post using "Paste" or Ctrl-V. Click on the ICON below "Font family" and to the right of "X2". Yup, that one, the one that says ""Insert edit Image". The icon looks like THIS. In the box labeled "Insert Image URL" you can now "paste" the info you saved in step #1.
4) Now click "INSERT"
When I right click the picture - there is not a "copy image address" option. It does say copy link: so I paste that into the "insert edit image" box and I get (drumroll) this ->
Nada
This was the link for this test.: http://static1.squarespace.com/stat...fd83f0bbe343a0/1508698011435/?format=original
So lets try enthetan's method.
When I right click the above link- there is not an option "View Image"
So! Edge was a fail - lets try IE. do de do de do - nope - same lack of copy image address, or view image.
So, I guess I will try to download Chrome and see if that fixes it.
Well, Bob's your uncle, you are using Chrome, not Edge. Chrome does in fact have the "copy Image Address" option.
Problem solved.
