To see how that works, having the image address of my facebook cover photo copied

Code: Select all

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154928207165264&set=a.10150432899040264.356376.513540263&type=3

and the web address of a flickr image

Code: Select all

https://www.flickr.com/photos/villadismo/6894322670/in/photolist-bvecWf-aGracM-rhan42-qcGBJ8-5L8VmF-awVtVF-cAxTJW-oeUFWB-9xGDSc-np3RYK-6v71Dq-66vxBm-fjU1dU-buLtsd-oCoAH2-q9VGbR-pfsSUB-ozubgM-VdWU2B-76Qpe6-pwSYY3-bpsqqg-9xGCYB-6WeFsR-pcVmiy-5fFfGi-awVuHH-dhvT4H-dxSEAZ-eo2h5G-9xGEZT-6uKAiJ-4ZLjVE-6jEpVP-8jSyyg-nqJziY-pda9o2-6uKAcG-fSnX1Z-hY9qHn-sJsnP-oyq3Gc-pndjpq-mBPZLF-2BAYca-2Q2SU2-p28rkG-s69Yzu-pnYxzm-6pPy9Y

Now, this does not work for every site, so if it doesn't, the image addresses will still need to have an [ img ] tag to display properly

This also means that you can also share video links directly into the site

like this youtube web address copied from the address bar

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agB8CFd8m8w

It's not a perfect solution, but it should help those that have their images already uploaded to the likes of facebook share them here a little easier

Giving it a go ........................... my previous bike

Note : I did need to re-size photos in "paint" .

[Podgehog]

yeah, this notification was about having a way to post items that are already on the internet rather than needing to upload

the available uploading image size is limiting here, but pictures posted elsewhere may be easier for some people to share
