How Do I Get Address?

[tommie]

I have a picture I resized and saved on my desktop. How do I go about copying the url address so that I can paste it in a forum I am in? It is for my avatar. They don't have a browse button for me to get it that way.

right click - properties often works. Then copy and paste.

surely if it's just saved on your desktop, it won't have a url - you will have to upload it to a website for it to get a URL

Try photobuck, or tinypic.

or facebook

Dzug2's response seems to assume that you want the URL of the original image, in its original location. But, if I read your question correctly, you want a URL for the resized image, which is currently on your desktop.

Go here:

Click 'Browse'. Navigate to your desktop and double-click on the image file. Click 'Upload now' (and enter the security code you'll see). Your image will then be uploaded to the web. Click on the link labelled 'Direct Link for Layouts', which will highlight it. Right-click and select 'copy. Go to where the link is required. Right-click and select 'Paste'

Oops!!!!

Thank you for pointing out my error, Hc4361. I obviously failed to copy the Tinypic link to my clipboard before inserting it in my post. (Consequently what was already on my clipboard appeared instead).

Tommie:
Hc4361 has now provided the link I meant to give you so, unless I've made any more stupid mistakes, my instructions should now be valid.

Sorry about the duff link!

Well tiny pic worked. Thank you. I had to give the best answer to hc4361. Sorry about that Buenchico but hc had the right address.
