Thanks B73.

For those who need step by step instructions:
  • Right click on the image. NB: On the actual image, not the web page it's on.
  • Select 'Properties' from the menu.
  • Highlight the entire web address (URL) of the picture. Always start from the beginning or you may not get all of a long url.
  • Right click on the highlighted data and 'Copy'
Then .....
  • Begin your post as normal.
  • Click on the button.
  • A prompt appears, with an address line. (It will contain "http://" in dark blue. Ignore that - it will be overwritten by the URL you insert)
  • Right slick on the address line and select 'Paste'.
  • Click 'OK'
  • Depending upon what editing mode you have, you'll then see either the picture or a code. (Doesn't matter which.)
  • Add some info about the picture. eg Type, location, activity etc
  • Press 'Submit Reply' as normal.
  • Easy as
NB:
  •  
    • It's usually possible to direct link to pictures, but not always.
  •  
    • Do not link to pictures with website names, business names, copyright notices etc.
  •  
    • The down side of this method is that if the picture is removed from the original source, it will disappear here. eg Pictures from news items tend to have a limited life.
