I can upload it as an attachment but I was wondering how to upload it straight to the site so everyone can view it.

Any help would be much apprechated . Thanks

If I'm understanding you right, you are missing one more step in the process for everyone to see the pic instead of seeing the link.

Once you upload it as an attachment, you have to go back to that same button at the top, but this time, click the little arrow next to the paper clip, another box will come up.

click the link and it will be shown where you put the cursor

This is what I do & you don't even need the insert image button

Hmm...never even tried it that way before. Thanks for the heads up

Where does everyone find pics of blu ray movies?

They take their own screenshots.

I'm referring to the cover of the blu ray, not a scene of the movie. Seems like if I want to post a shot of a blu ray cover, I shouldn't have to upload it to a different site- when others must have already?

Although, how does someone take a screenshot?

Thanks

You can copy the images of covers from this site and paste them into your own PC folder. No need to have them hosted elsewhere. Then just copy whatever image you want into a thread.

Screenshots mostly are taken with external cameras in close-up view.....I think!

ok, i figured out how to get pics of my 'recent haul' onto the site. But, now i'm stuck where i want to post a pic of a dvd that i dont own. One of the threads is "post a pic of a blu-ray in person x's collection you want to own". well, how do i get a pic of the case front of the blu-ray on the post without self-taking?

Right click on the image, Select ~ Save Image As....

Now you have that image saved in your computer downloads. Then you can put it up to Photobucket (or whatever image hosting site you have) & can copy & paste the IMG tag into your post.

That's incorrect, if you copy them to a pc folder, they are on your computer and not on a server to be shared. An image would need a hosted location for everyone to see it if not only you would.

If you find a movie cover, say from this site or any site. I usually do this:

1. right click the image, if using chrome of FF it will say " Copy Image url"
2. Go to desire thread or location you want it posted and attach IMG tags [IMG] [/IMG] to the beginning and end of the image url as shown or click that little picture above and insert the url there.

3. So for example if I want to show Battleship cover art I copy the url from this site:
https://images.static-bluray.com/mov...3676_small.jpg

insert IMG tags
[IMG]https://images.static-bluray.com/movies/covers/53676_small.jpg[/IMG] and end result is

Then I'm misintrepeting the question.

I just saved the image below taken from this site to my PC and used the Paperclip option to insert it. Works fine.

Cool learn something new everyday All I did was right click the image in your post John & select ~ Copy Image. Then placed that between IMG tags

paperclip option is overkill is all I am saying, you are reuploading an image that is already hosted on a server.

just right click the image or image url and paste between the IMG tags and reply. There is nothing wrong with the way you did it but it wastes space on the site's server since it is already there. Your wording made it sound like you wanted him to save to his hard drive in a folder then re host them.

You can copy the images of covers from this site and paste them into your own PC folder.

If that's not what you meant or I misinterpreted it, please accept my apology. There is an easier way is all I am trying to say.

It's all good. It goes to show there are various options for doing things, and yes, some more efficient than others.

Can't use the paper clip option from an iPhone! Doh!!!

Hi guys. I have a question. I tried posting a picture in the haul thread, but when I post it, it shows up as a link that I goes straight to the picture. How to I make the picture show up in the post instead of a link?

Thanks guys!
