Thread: Attention Computer Nerds: Can I post Pics from Facebook?

Can pictures from facebook be used and posted on this site? Or do they need to be put onto a photo sharing site and then used here?

just click the "Go advanced" button (next to post) and see if you can manage attachments

Now that you can't find the direct link of the picture you can't. If facebook though you can now download pictures and just upload them here using the attach feature.

They changed the way pictures are displayed so you can't just right click and copy the url.

You need to dig into the source code to find the image src url.

On google chrome just right click inspect element and then find the url. Pain in the butt to do it that way.

Most everything that tries to disable the option to right click and save a image url you can get around by looking in the page source code.

If you want to look at a photo using the old photo viewer, just right click the thumbnail and 'open link in new tab'. Then you can still right click the photo and copy the image URL.

I must be missing something...

ah, had not used a new tab. The new photo viewer is good for looking at stuff then when you close you go back to where you were and not the top of the list. Good to know that in a new tab you can copy the url.

I managed it it by opening my picture in a new tab & copying that link...

Works for me
