How to save/copy forum pics since change

Makalu1 · 04-10-2016, 06:43 PM

Okay, I have searched for the answer and tried a few tricks but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to save pics of folks posts on here now? I used to just "save as" but that no longer works. I find it real handy to save pics of posts with useful ideas and things I may want, especially off the Registry.

Thanks!

I often just use screen shots as my saved pictures, that way I get the picture and the text. I then open in Paint and crop out the stuff I don't want.

Why not just bookmark?

You should be able to save images. Click on the image to open it fully then right click and select 'save as" Give it a new name and save.

The exception to this is if a member loaded a link to an image hosted elsewhere (like photobucket) These are harder to save as they may be "protected' by the host site even though they display as images here.. In that case a screen shot might be the best option for you.

It seems to be an issue associate just with the photos posted in the Registry section. I tried opening and saving from random members photos in there and in other sections of the site and it's just the Registry that won't let you save any in the normal way. It's okay, I think most of those pics reside at other places on the site. Thanks folks.

This has been changed - you should be able to save as usual now from the registry.
