There are 2 ways to upload photos to a post. By using the URL, or web address of the image you wish to upload, or by posting the image directly to B&B.

First up - Posting the image directly to B&B.

Find the image on the website you wish to upload in your post. Right click your mouse on the photo and click "save image as"

Select a location to save the image to your computer where you can easily find it, and delete it later. Click "Save"
(Note: Some websites do not permit you to download a photo from their website, if this is the case, you may need to use an alternate method as described below).

Once the photo is saved, in your post, click on the picture Icon to start the upload process.

Your photo will upload to your post. When it is completely uploaded, it will change from gray to full color. When you are done writing your post, click the "Post Reply" button in the lower right corner, and you are done!

Next we will talk about loading a photo into your post using the web address of the image.

First, find the photo you wish to share. You can right click on the photo and select "Copy Image Address".

Alternatively you can click "Open image in new tab" and then copy the address from the web address bar at the top of the web page

Great tutorial, Phil. Going to make it a sticky?

Let's not forget that you can upload to the B&B Gallery and use the Copy Image BB code to insert it that way.
Create an album (I use my user name) and store your pics in there for future use.

I’m stumped
I've been copying and pasting my photos direct into the post and bypassing the insert function. Seems to works the same with less steps.

Thanks all!
This thread is linked in the Sticky "B&B Tips and Tricks" at the top of the Feedback Forum.
These certainly aren't the only way, but it provides some guidance for those who may need some help!

I can't find the "Copy Image BB code" option when I select an image I've uploaded to the gallery.
