I was hoping for audio as well. The text was all too small for my eyes, even with my glasses. I was straining to read it and failed. With videos hitting the Ctrl + keys to enlarge doesn't work, either. I'll try with what I think I read...
Oh, okay, it worked. Thanks for the help with the image uploading. Hopefully I'll remember what to do...

This can be done by linking, but the image should be somewhere on the internet, and the host should allow linking (some sites prevent deep-links to images).

You may have your images uploaded to The Doll Album or The Doll Harem.

Next use one of these tages: Img, iborder, img600, imgthm, thumb or urlmature. Have the link (url) to the image between the tags.

Note, not the link to the page having the image, but the link to the image. In most browsers, right-click on the image, choose Copy Image Location, next paste this between the tags.

You'll get something like

Code: Select all

[img600]https://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/13721/Sacha_5480.jpg[/img600]
This will show as:

If I put it between the I get this... [url]http://www.dollalbu ... pid=187706

If I put it between the IMG or img600 I get this
Image
or this

The little black square allows my to click and it will take me to the Doll Album, but that's not what I'm trying to do :cry:


This is the info I'm copying from my album to put there...

it's the only info I can take from the image, if I right click on the actual image itself and "copy link" (I don't see "copy image location") nothing appears when I "paste" :x

Don't put the page URL there, but the image URL :wink: right-click the image and Copy Image Location (in FireFox, or ... IE is crap, doesn't do it, I don't have other browsers installed).

In case of The Doll Album, you may want to remove "normal_" as that is a resized image.

The code you're showing me, "www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/us ... 9/mer3.JPG" ... I don't /can't get that anywhere. If I right click on any of the pictures, thumbnail, full sizee, or otherwise, it doesnt give me anything to paste when i "copy" or "copy link" :? So you suspect this is a symptom of my internetexplorer ? …..or ….Microsoft edge as that may be the browser I'm currently using :? They both use a little "e" symbol so I'm not sure which I have....sorry :|

Sorry, I can't figure out how to get the image link in IE/Edge :(

I use FireFox most of the time.

Thanks.
So you are fairly confident its a browser issue, rather than me being totally incompetent :oops: ...and a related follow up question... is installing a different browser a difficult task? ( considering my lack of technical skills demonstrated up to this point)

No it is not.
I use Chrome and Firefox.
After you downloaded the program, just click yes and I agree on everything and you are good to go

Star8, I started my old Windows 7 system and tested IE 11. You can get the image link with IE, at least with IE 11.

On your Gallery link

Code: Select all

http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/displayimage.php?pid=187706
click on the image to get it in fullscreen.

On the fullscreen image right click and choose "properties".

A new window opens and in the middle is an adress (URL). It must be

Code: Select all

http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/13379/mer3.JPG
Mark and copy it.

Paste it between Image and you get:

Code: Select all

[img600]http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/13379/mer3.JPG[/img600]
Optional, but highly recommended: Change http to https

Code: Select all

[img600]https://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/userpics/13379/mer3.JPG[/img600]

By the way, a beautiful photo. :thumbs_up:

I appreciate the input, unfortunately It won't help my situation :( I'm running windows 10 with Microsoft edge ( I think ) and right clicking on the full screen image doesn't give me the "properties" option.
I am offered only ASK CORTANA ABOUT THIS PICTURE, SAVE PICTURE, SHARE PICTURE, SELECT ALL, or COPY.

:evidence: I may be left with no other option than to try a new Browser. Perhaps I'll try the Mozilla, if it works for me I will assume this all is a result of Win 10/ Edge.

Might want to explore option to "Share Picture", that might actually provide you with the image location (URL). Just guessing, but MS is MS is MS. Just different ways to access the same information.

Considered that, only opened a window to mail, skype, twitter or OneNote?

It's really weird that it is this difficult to get the image link when using IE/Edge.
Well, to me a good reason to go for another browser ;)

Well I finally tried a different browser and that seems to solve the problem... at least here.
Still having some issues viewing images over at the "X" HAREM but i suppose that's a problem for a different thread :lol:
