> [not in play] – I tried to post a picture, as Spoons evidently did, but it got rejected, hence the link. What am I missing here?

It’s easy, but not exactly intuitive. Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the page where the photo you want is.
2. Right-click on the photo. A dialog box appears.
3. Select “View Image Info.” A Page Info box appears.
4. Click the “Media” button at the top of the box, if it is not pre-selected for you. Halfway down the box is a list (Location, Type, Size, etc.). The Location list item will have a URL that should end in .jpg.
5. Highlight the entire URL, and copy it.
6. Return to the SDMB and open a Reply box.
7. Paste the URL that you copied into the Reply box, on its own line (do not precede or follow it with text). You should see your picture appear in the Preview pane.
8. Click Reply to post the photo to the thread.

Like I said, it’s not intuitive; but if you follow the steps above, you should be able to put your picture in the thread:

Just like that.
