Posting Links and Pictures

[masonphillip]

Kudos to - 17ROCKIES12 - who identified in the new forum complaint thread a really cool new feature.

If you want to post a link or picture from another site, all you have to do is latch onto it, drag it over here into the reply box and away you go.

For example, a picture from ebay:


and now, the link to that auction - 2011 PLAYOFF PRIME CUTS CLIFF LEE JERSEY TIMELINE #24/2...

Great catch and an awesome new feature in my opinion.

I don't get how this works when the other site I'm viewing is obviously in a different tab than this one.

 

[ChasHawk]

Got it now. Only works if I drag it from a different window. Unfortunately, I don't browse that way...

When I tried to drag the picture in, it just opened the picture up in the window by itself.. no forum... just the pic..

Current window, but not another tab in the current window. Does firefox have tabbed browsing?

Yes, as an example.

Cool. Works.

I'm on firefox, dragged and dropped from another tab.

How do you get the browser to go from one tab to the other while still holding the left mouse button?

edit: I'm on ie8, so whatever you guys are doing isn't likely to work, oh well.

I hit the quick reply button so the cursor is in the box.

Go to the tab with the pic. Grab, pause until it's selected..... Drag the cursor to the tab you want, pause...

It will then pop over to the correct tab.
Scroll down, and pop it in.

just drag the picture over, hold it over the new tab and eventually that tab will become the active one, then you can drag down and drop.

Does not work on IE unfortunately, no matter how long I hold it there.

Works from a current or seperate window, but not from another tab in the same window.

Microsoft fails again...lol

You did.

I just figured it should work in IE as well, but no dice.

Same issue here. Luckily I have 2 monitors at work, so I utilize accordingly
