How do I save & show you pics from FBook?

My son refurbished a treadle sewing machine, I think you'd like it.

Thanks.

You should be able to right click on the image and in the menu select:  Copy Image

Click on the frame here and press:  CTRL + V 

(note: the right click paste on here does something else)

After you do that, you need to wait a few seconds for the IMAGE UPLOAD bar to go from 0% to 100% and the automatic size processing to happen.

Once the little popups go away, you are free to post.

If you want to actually download it, click the picture, click the 3 dots up by his name, then select download.  From there you can just upload it.

On FB, make sure the picture's privacy is set to public.  For example, here is a photo from my FB that is set to "friends only".  My guess is that some of you can see it, but most can't.  I did both of these with copy image > ctrl v:

This picture is set to public, so I'm guessing you all can see it:

This makes me curious if anyone else has this issue.

For me, uploading a photo is a long, multi-step process.  1) click the icon, 2) click the upload tab, 3) click add image, 4) choose the image, 5) wait for it to upload, 6) click OK.  That seems excessive.

I also can't do multiple photos or it doesn't format.  It will get one photo in the message and the rest are big blank spaces, so I have to repeat all 6 of those steps for each image.

I also can't do the click/drag.  When I hover the picture over the message panel I just get a red "no" circle.

but you can attach photos without a seperate hosting site which is much preferred for me.

Yes, for photos you took, it's the only real way to do it.  I just wish it didn't take 6 steps per photo.  But if I want to post "hey, look at this cool miata" and the picture is on flyin' Miata's website, I don't want to download it, then go through that six step process to upload it.  I'll just copy/paste.  It would be even better if I could click/drag

Adding to the frustration is my Google Photos.  I can't copy and paste for privacy issues, so I have to take the photo with my phone, go to my google photos folder on my laptop, rip the photo to my HD, then go through the 6 step process of uploading.... frustrating.  I can make the photo shareable in google, but that just generates a link that viewers would have to click and go visit the image on my google photos page.

The only other option is to go to GRM on my phone... but I still have to go through the 6 step process.

Anywhere else, when you click the "add image" button, it pops up the default folder on your computer, you double click an image, and you're done.  Two steps and the image is there.  And if you add multiple images they all show up, not just one and a bunch of blank spaces.

I'm not really complaining.  The rest of the format for the forum is wicked awesome, I just get frustrated with the picture part.

I can see it, so the copy and paste bypasses the privacy setting.  Which makes sense since it's not linking it.

I used to share my public photos from FB with "copy image" or "copy image address", but recently they made a change when the New FB rolled out which caused all of the photos I had shared in all of my threads to disappear.  I went through quite a bit of effort to fix several threads, but still have some that are missing photos.

I now download the images to my computer, or screenshot them and download them to upload to the thread if I want an image from a private group or a full page, as I have have here to show how I usually downlaod images.

Snipping tool is part of windows , 

go to "search programs and files" 

Its a simple tool that just saves the part of the photo or page you want ....

and I just learned this a few months ago after using Windows from the 90s !   DOH

I think you can drag and drop pictures from your hard drive directly into the post box instead of the 6 step process.

Testing...

Yup, seems to work. I initially dragged 3 images into this post, but deleted 2 to save space.
