Embedded images...its SIMPLE!!!!

I know this isn't the "how to" board but I think a good many posters need to learn this:

If there's a picture you want to post from the internet follow these steps to make it automatically display in the thread you are posting.

1. Go to the image address in your browser
2. Copy the web address (ctrl c-windoze command c-smackintosh)
3. Hit the little icon in the posting screen that looks like a mountain with the sun
4. Paste the image address (ctrl v-wondoze command v-smackentosh)
5. Hit OK
6. submit reply.

alternatively copy the address into the posting window, highlight the whole thing and then hit the mountain icon

totally old school type paste or type web address then type

This way, no one has to follow a link, they can just see the image you want to add because
this sucks:

And this

Right, but what if the image is on my PC, so it doen't have a web address?

TIA

Upload it here to LIT. Then preview and click the link. Copy the link address and use IMG codes. There will be the link and the embedded image that way,
 
Resurrecting this thread for a message of vital importance:

DO NOT DO THIS WITH IMAGES HOSTED ON THE “SOMETHING AWFUL” WEBSITES.

What are the "something awful" sites?

It’s a humor site as old as the web itself: somethingawful.com

Its forum is where image macros and Western ‘chan culture originated.

But if you try to hijack its bandwidth, the images you wanted are substituted with foul images that are probably illegal in many countries.

So it’s best to upload an image to your own post and imbed from there when dealing with SA images like this:

attachment.php


Or this:
