Adding Images To Posts.

[Jackalope]

Remember the ordeal it was in old days when you saw an image and wanted to post it on TOO. First, you had to save it, then you had to go to your post and upload it, then attach it.

SCREW That!

Now you can simply copy or drag it to your post from anywhere. This also works for images you have stored on your computer.

I right clicked the below image on a google image search and selected copy image.

Now go to your post and right click and select "paste"

HOLY CRAP would you look at that! Sucker pasted right in.

You can also copy or click and drag in image from your desktop.

This doesn't work on phones as phones don't have the ability to copy an image or click and drag.



So there ya go.

Problem I found with copy pasting the image was that I couldn’t type while it loaded. So for me, the old way is better because I usually start the upload and type a description while it loads. Once it loads i move the clicker to where I want the image and I click “full image”.

Might help someone like me that hates waiting for things to load. Seems to keep me busy while things happen.

Edit: this is using a mobile device on the mobile version of the website.

If you have a slow connection and you're uploading a large file that makes sense. Pasting it into the reply box would tie up the box until it's loaded.

Correct, that’s what I fight all the time. I even hooked up to the WiFi this morning and it just slowed down over my cell phone carrier. That’s why I’m sharing, I’m sure I’m not the only one that fights this issue. This process helps with my anger issues.

If you're having issues over wifi I would look at what kind of speed you're getting there too. I've uploaded some massive pictures from my phone while connected to wifi and none of them took over 10 seconds or so. I have noticed that if I'm out and about it takes longer over the cellular network but that's to be expected.

10 seconds?! Lmao, I don’t think I’ve ever loaded a pic that fast. The last couple of days it’s been more like 5-10 minutes! When I was loading to the photo albums it was like an hour for multiples.

Giles sucks.

Cellular 4g no wifi.

Must be nice...I can see why you get pissed at tractors now. I ain’t so used to that high speed life.
