To post a picture. First you look at the long bar.(the bar the smiley faces are in) You then will look at the one that looks like a photograph. you click on that You then delete the http you then copy the URL into the box. Then your picture will show up. Also make sure it is not a big picture otherwise it will not really show up.

Answer 4

S1r_Wakka and all

1. Obtain the URL of the picture by right-clicking on the picture and choosing Properties. It will give you the URL. Insert this URL in Spanishdict by clicking the Image icon in the toolbar right above the box where you're typing your question or answer. Copy-paste the URL in the pop-up.

Do not do this. It is called hot linking and is violates internet ettiquete. When a hot linked photo shows up here, it uses the resources of the original web site. Always download the photo to photobucket or other service first. Then upload as in #2. This too may be considered by some as stealing, but at least you're not adding any strain to the website from which it came.

What if you also mention the source of the picture in your post? - S1r_Wakka, Jul 30, 2011

That merely exhausts Photbucket's resources rather than the site's. Downloading the picture is as much a violation of proprietary material as linking to it. - 0074b507, Jul 30, 2011

If you're worried about the ethics, don't use other people's material, at all. You can prevent sharing of images. Most people leave their photos public and do not mind if others share them. I routinely remove my photos that I use in replies here after - 0074b507, Jul 30, 2011

a short period of time to not exhause anyone's resources. (My screen captures, for example, are removed automatically from the image host after 5 days.) - 0074b507, Jul 30, 2011
