so many people ask how to do this that i thought i'd do a comprehensive picture guide.
Thread Updated: July 23, 2012. I (Christmas_hamster) have updated the original thread with different pictures than purplelotus originally used and refreshed the tutorial in order to keep up with the changes.

Posting pictures from the internet

Note that you must seek permission from the owner of the photograph or picture before you post it up!

to be followed by 'posting pictures from photo bucket'

1. Find picture on the internet.
Posted Image

2. Select the picture you want by clicking on it (if found on google).
Posted Image

3. If using Google Chrome as your browser than right click on the image and select 'Copy Image URL'.
Posted Image
If using Mozilla Firefox as your browser than right click on the image and select 'Copy Image Location'.
Posted Image
If using Internet Explorer as your browser than right click on the image and select 'Properties'.
Posted Image
Once the little window from properties pops up highlight the Address (URL), right click it and select copy:
Posted Image

4.On HH select the Image icon button when making a post
Posted Image

5. Press Ctrl and V at the same time. Alternatively, right click in the box, and select 'paste'. Once the URL Address is in the box than click 'ok'.
Posted Image

6. Preview your post to make sure it has worked, and once it has you can submit your post.
Posted Image

Hope this helps! Posted Image

in this case you need to transfer the pic from your phone to your computer first, then upload the pic to a web host such as www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us

you can follow the other tutorial on photobucket as an example.

P.S. will all members please do your testing at the Test Zone please, thanks!
