    All I did to post this image was to upload it from my pictures into Photobucket, then simply right click/copy/paste

    I don't get that on my system. And I never have. Which is a bit odd.

    Maybe I've got it turned off in the MSE settings. Or summat. Dunno.

    Can't remember what settings I've got MSE's settings on...bit weird. Maybe I'll have another look.

    I'm using Firefox and I've currently got the latest one (it's just gone to 6 without doing 5) so I wouldn't expect it to be that.

    It's a shame. I'd probably fling up some interesting or amusing pics occasionally from time to time if I could. Oh well.

    Mostly, find a picture you like and we could experiment to try and post it?

    Thanks, ok, yes, I'll look for a pic. Back in a min.
    Ok, I've found one, it's a nice pic of a giant dog in a car which someone else posted here a while ago. I've got it in a .doc file. So if I do what I'd expect and try to copy and paste it in here then this is what happens :

    [FONT=&quot][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image002.jpg[/IMG]
    [/FONT]
    which I assume is showing an address on my computer for it. Which of course is not much use. And would only work if my computer was set up to be a server, wouldn't it. Or am I misunderstanding this. Anyway, if you can help and tell me what to do then thanks very much.[FONT=&quot]

    Have you got a photobucket account?

    If thats the photo all I did with that one was finding it on the web, placed cursor on it right clicked, copy, placed cursor in mse box, right clicked, paste. Didn't use photobucket on that one. Try it

    I've placed that image in my computer, and no it won't copy and paste straight across. If it is stored in your computer then I think it has to be uploaded to photobucket etc then copy and pasted into mse
