1. What happens when you try?

[SummerSnow]

16. if i go to an image they have these options...

visit, save, view saved and share. No way to post the image like I did in the past.

[SidDithers]

22. Use Share. At the bottom is "click to copy link"...

Copy that link and paste it into your DU post.

Try that, see if it works.

Edit: that might not work, because the link isn't to a .jpg or .gif file. You probably have to Right Click, Copy Image Address, then paste that into your post.

2. What method did you used to use...

...and at what point in that process do you first run into something that works other than the way you expected it to work?

[SummerSnow]

15. I did copy and paste from google images

[Iggo]

26. I just did a bunch of tests using that method and they were hit and miss.

I see below that you found a method that works for you.

Very cool!

3. If you "can't no longer" then you can !

[BigmanPigman]

11. That is one of my pet peeves.

4. Google is what happened.

Much more difficult to post images!

[Stallion]

5. About A Month Ago--Google and other Search Engines Disabled Ability to Post Copyright Photos

---you can post memes by going to meme sites

[SummerSnow]

12. I think this is the issue. When I go to an image in google images

it wont let me copy and paste

[Exotica]

18. You have to post the url link of the image, not copy and paste

[SummerSnow]

23. Yes, I just did that and it worked

[Exotica]

25. sweet, and see my other tip to you about the view image button being taken away in google

[SummerSnow]

27. yep, I saw that too.

[Exotica]

29. finally, here is another great tool for taking snapshots of images that are not just stand alones

it is what I used to take a snapshot of that telly in one of my replies to you (as I wanted to show all the buttons)

https://gyazo.com

its free and you can take a snapshot of any size

like this (I am snapshotting this reply to you)

to post after you gyazo it, you just right click and choose "copy image address" then paste that into your Du (or anywhere) post

I use it all the time in Skype too

6. test

[SummerSnow]

17. Now how did you do that?

[Exotica]

24. here is another tip

Google like 2 months ago took away the "view imge" button

see this, the view image button is now longer there




BUT

all you have to do to replicate that button is simply right click on the image and choose "open image in new tab"

then copy the URL that it is now up


and paste that url into the body of the DU post

[SummerSnow]

28. I did notice that one day , I have to sticky note that

[Exotica]

30. so many people I know lost their minds when google took it away, but i showed them the trick and

they were like "OMG, I cant believe I didn't see that", lolol

[SummerSnow]

32. I was at a lost when this happened. Thanks alot Exotica.

[Lisa0825]

31. All I do (In Chrome) is right click, copy image address, and paste the url in the message box. nt

[Exotica]

37. That works too, it just doesn't show true size it will be, especially

if it is a huge image

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. Is it your photo bucket account? They no longer allow embedding unless you pay

[SummerSnow]

13. I have no photobucket account but i think i might need one

[A HERETIC I AM]

33. DO NOT BOTHER WITH PHOTOBUCKET!!

They SUCK anymore, what with the pain in the ass loading of endless ads and other restrictions

Try Postimages or similar.

To hell with photobucket

Edit to say others have beaten me to the recommendation, but it is a good one

8. Just found a nice pic of Spanky. Let me see if it shows up here.

I just Googled Trump pooping in pants and copy/pasted the pic from one of the search results.

[SummerSnow]

19. I did the same thing . but where do i copy and paste?

[SummerSnow]

20. I just tried to do the same image lets see if it works
