Technical Questions - How do you...?

I would love a tutorial on how to do this. What softwear do you need? I have a mac.

Thank you

Nevermind I worked it out.

Glad you figured it out Mirzam! It really is easy once you get the hang of it (and fun!) :Smiley:

Follow these steps in embedding pics:

1. In the article, place curser on top of picture. Right click mouse, then select "copy image URL".
NOTE: In some cases, pictures shown in the article are cropped. If this is the case, click picture first to show full image, then right click mouse, then select "copy image URL."

2. Go back to thread, under Post a Reply, click the icon "insert an image". In the URL box, paste the "copy image URL" in step 1.
3. Click "insert"
4. Select preview if you want to view your post before sending.

Thanks Isabel123!

Edit - looks like you can't copy and paste emoticons from iPhones etc, it mess up the post. I didn't know that. Maybe it's just me.

Nope it never works for anyone. Just edit them out. Or you can take a screenshot of the tweet/IG caption/etc. and post that if the emojis are necessary. I've also added in ones from here as a replacement.

Something new I noticed, if someone uses the keyboard shortcut for a smiley like : ) (without the space) it comes out in the post like this  or an lo l (again without the space) comes out like this

Yes, I thought I posted that somewhere that I did that. It's common to :   ) and l  o l in everyday use. I found myself doing it here all the time so I changed it. Sorry if I didn't share that with everyone. Quite possible I meant to and got sidetracked.

If there's anymore anyone wants changed, let me know.

RE: emojii's. It's crazy in this day and age we can't copy and paste emojii's. lolI figured it out and just deleted it and the post was fine. I don't have an iPhone but sometimes I like to add something to my tweet. There are some site you can just copy and paste from, simple black and white smiles to twitter. I found this website, they are black and white but when I tested one, it was very colourful. I'm sharing the link in case anyone wanted to use them. I cant' randomly start using them on people on twitter, so if someone wants to test it with me on twitter let me know.

ETA: umngirl that's a great idea, to just replace them with the ones on the board!

You may have posted it GA. It was just news to me. I dont always check other sections of the board but now that we have the "view new posts" option, I'm doing better . Thanks for all you do.
