I've never been able to cut and paste. And I've had a bit more difficulty with the new setup, it's like it keeps trying to do what it thinks I want, not what I actually want.
First thing I have figured out to do is click the first button in the Quick Reply, which is: Switch Editor to Source mode. Then I can see all the BB code.
Then to insert a clickable image:
1. Go to pinpics and find the pin I want. I copy the address of the URL in the browser
2. Click the Link button, and paste the URL
3. Then I see , in brackets something like URL="a web site ] a website again and then the closing URL tag
4. In the middle, I can see an http and an address. If I leave that you will see a text link, but I want a picture
5. So I go back to Pinpics, right click on the pin picture and I see "copy image URL" and so I do that
6. Then highlight all of the link between the brackets that I don't want, and then hit the insert image button.
7. Paste in the image URL which I copied in step 5. If I want the thumbnail size I add the th72 on the end of the url.
So you should end up with something like URL="a website link"] URL IMG picture link /IMG /URL (with the brackets where they are supposed to be )
and then you get:
Unfortunately, all browsers are different. I think you might have had to do the cut & paste in Internet Explorer. I was never able to get it to work in Firefox, or what I normally use, which is Chrome. I could either paste a URL or an Image but not both at the same time.
Also, if our webmasters are reading, I noticed when other people tried to cut and paste since the upgrade, that the images and links were starting out with disneypinforum.com and not pinpics.com like they should. So I don't know if an autofill is messed up somewhere.
