Copy and Pasting Retweets

LadyMorticia

Hello everyone.

When copying and pasting a retweet, is it possible to include the image if the company have added one? I've noticed that when people manually retweet by copying and pasting the retweet in the reply box to the company, some of the tweeters also have the image for the original tweet in it, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. I've tried copying and pasting the image, tried right clicking and copying link location etc to no avail.

It's driving me crazy!

Help, please?

might be a silly question, but why don't you just press the retweet button?

When you go to click the retweet button take the text from that as that has the pic then carry on with the rt

Extra entry, many comps pick from comments so many compers put the text under as well as retweeting so whichever way the comp pick they are covered.

Hope this explains, as u hit reweet copy the text then click the button, then post what u copied under as a comment x

Aha! Thank you so much, Toni.

As a side note, what do you do if adding the photo sends the tweet over the 140 characters (as the pic will be in the form of a link until posted?) Should I just delete the photo for those tweets?

Kinda new to this!

Twitter keeps undoing my retweets so by copying and pasting I'm covered if that does happen and I don't notice.

I just take some irrelevant text off, Twitter isn't undoing your tweets, it's cached and still there and gives u a chance to re do it after a certain time period, If you fave everything you rt u can easily see it has been done.

Or you can use topsy http://topsy.com/advanced-search and check to see if u have actually done it.
