I don't think you can actually paste a photo at least I can't do it. I tried right clicking on the photo I wanted and copy then go to the message and paste and it didn't work. There is a way to attach a photo. Hit reply then in the white box where you type just above that are little icons. There is a paper clip. If you click that then you can attach a photo. I don't have a Chromebook so this is just a guess.

Nothing is easy if you don't know how to do it. And, everything is easy if you know how to do it.

I just got the invalid file message as well when I tried it but when I tried a different photo it worked. Might be file size but just a guess. Be sure to hit the upload button on the far right to finish the job.

The picture I was trying to insert is the Flintstone Vacuum Cleaner. Wilma is pushing a little elephant. I was going to post it in the Rumba thread.

It's easy to find and should be small. See if you can do it.

I'm seeing that you can do it. I assume You are using a chromebook. How do you get the address of the photo? right clicking did not work

Nope Ipad. I saved to my Ipad and then uploaded to the thread using the paper clip attachment icon.

You can download and you can upload but you can't copy and paste because of the underlying code involved. That is why when you do a quote post you see the start and end tags [] and [/] The
reply and paperclip supply the code.
