Using my lated rose upload as an example:

If you are using IExplorer just highlight the thumbnail directly out of the gallery photo listings and copy it to your clipboard and then paste it from your clipboard directly into the text field here where needed.

As for other browsers I suppose one would need to use the HTML tags to achieve this result but I'm not sure if any of the other associated HTLM functions will work, such as linking, etc from the thumbnail. Maybe the techies here could add a feature to make this easier for people with other kinds of browsers to do this also?

I see you've got a thumbnail posted and the caption displays whenever you run your curser over it, but the thumbnail doesn't link back to the original page from which it came when clicked. Makes me wonder if your IExplorer is different than mine, or whether its your browser that is different? Still though, it works good enough for the purposes intended here.

Editing finished - Now waiting for the mods to repost it with its correct caption and then the series will be complete! :-)

As for myself anything I post online is fair game for anyone who might find a use for it to help promote their organizations, events, clubs, etc., or even to decorate their homes with photos I make. I know a lot of others (propbably most) may feel otherwise concerning their own photos but after so many years of posting photos online into public galleries and even hot-linking them to public websites although not from here because I don't want to bog down an already bogged down server, plus the preview images aren't the best quality. A good suggestion (as stated above) to those wanting to use other people's photos would be to ask the user who posted them first (login under an account and send a private message - it seems visitors can send messages but there is no way for the software here to allow a response back) just to make sure its OK. This would eliminate a lot of surprises for those who aren't accustomed to having their photos show up on other websites, etc. - plus in my personal case it would help to let me know how and where they are being used so that I would have some kind of idea how useful my photos are in general and after a while be able to figure out what types of topics are most popular as well.

Thanks for pointing out the terms. I had not read them, nor was I aware they were there. I usually don't read directions, and of course it gets me into trouble. I'm pretty concerned about people using my stuff without crediting me, and seeing that policy makes me feel better.

I remember hearing about a large company paying compensation to a little girl whose image they had taken off her website and used for advertising. It sounds from that like calling material "property" may be pretty powerful, even if it isn't really copyrighted.
