When I go to a web site, and want to copy a picture & paste it on a forum, it doesn't give me that option in the drop down menu. The forum won't let me paste the property's HTML code.

You would have to provide a URL for us -- every forum is different, and it is possible to mark a page's contents as non-copyable via Javascript. So which URL were you visiting?

This is where I keep my pictures. I used to be able to copy & paste when I had a PC. Now it doesn't give me that option when I right click on it.

I'm a bit confused -- what exactly are you trying to copy? The image? The image's URL? Something else?

-Hi,

Try holding the Command key and click on the photo. You should get the drop down menu to Save Image or Copy Image. I like to Save to the Desktop and then place it into it's new home after a resize.

Certent forums it's easy, like this one. On Delphi Forums I have the problem. And with Mac I don't have the edit menu like here. I used to with a PC. Is it just the way Mac works with Delphi?

-Hi,

I'd post the question on Delphi's forum. That way you'd get the straight scoop... :D

I tried that. Everybody has a PC on that forum. Maybe I'll try another Delphi forum that has to do with computers, especially Mac. Thanks. B-)

Works for me. When I right-click a photo of that URL in Safari, I get a very long menu including:
* Copy link
* Copy image
* Copy image address

Firefox should give you similar options.

I tried all those, and it doesn't work. Even on this forum. I have to click on insert image. Copy and paste won't work.

Are you holding the (apple) command key, or the (ctrl) control key.
