How To Link To An Image In Another Post?

[JetsetBkk]

When I write a post, I sometimes wants to include a picture that someone has already posted.

But if I right-click on the image in their post, there is no "Copy link location" or any other way - that I can see - to determine where that image is located so I can create a link to it.

So how can I reproduce the same picture in my post?

Just tried a variety of tests with no success. The old version of the software it could be done but appears the Lightbox (js) does not.

I see no pic in your post

But if I right-click on the image in their post, there is no "Copy link location"

yes, nerfing right-click contextual menus is a childish way to try to protect content.

you will find the picture's location if you view the page's HTML source in your browser.

P.S.

why doesn't your post show something similar to "Edited by manarak, A minute ago." ?

Now my reply seems out of context.

He didn't post a pic, just asking a question of how to remote link a forum image into a post. Viewing the source doesn't help as it is a link into a member's database attachments and looks like this.

just need to fool the content link filter by adding .jpg after the .php

i.e.

Now I see who you were referring to regarding 'no pic'. I was trying to work fast and my test failed so bit too slow before it was read. Edit by missing - Admin/mod privilege. Tried to work on it as a hidden post but couldn't so had to make it visible long enough for my correction. Sorry for the confusion.

Good catch on the filter. I was wondering about that but couldn't figure out where it should go.

Easiest way is save the picture to your desktop then upload it again in your post. With acknowledgment of course.

Yes, I had thought of that but wanted to see if there was a more "acceptable" (and easier) way first.

Thank you dear Colonel. Of course I would ask you first...

(I just got the "un-clear" joke! Very good! )

Thanks Tywais - that'll save me searching through the source trying to find a way to do it!

I think the simplest way will be to save the image from the other post to my PC and re-upload it into my post. Seems a bit of a waste of time and bandwidth doing it that way, especially when the old software didn't hide the source.

That's my take on it also after trying a variety of techniques with no luck. The previous system did make it easy including linking from a member's gallery which we no longer have.

Aha!! Looks like manarak's idea works. This is the link from another post with the ".jpg" added after the .php:

So there are a couple of options to choose from - the "download/save/re-upload" option and the "find the link" option.

The latter option seems to give a full size picture rather than an expanding thumbnail. All interesting stuff...
