How-To link to an image here from another site.

Generally this type of thing is frowned upon, sometimes known as Bandwidth theft. The preferred method of linking is to navigate to the page here which contains the image, and copy the URL. Then paste that URL into a link on another site as needed.

However, I understand the need to sometimes link to just an image. Here's how to do it:

  • Navigate to the page containing the image you wish to link to.
  • Right-click the image and select
    • Copy Image Location (firefox), or
    • Properties, then copy the Address(URL) section of the properties page to your clipboard (IE).
  • Then paste that URL into the forum or website where you wish the image to appear.
