Default How to direct link a picture?

Can someone explain how to direct link a picture into a reply ? Can even a computer challenged person do it? When someone is looking for an example and you know where it is but cannot post it into your reply, it is difficult for them to find it. Help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Easiest way is to go to the page that holds the picture you want, hold down your mouse and highlight through the entire web address, probably starts with http://. Then right click your mouse and you get the option to "copy", left click that. Then come back to the reply box here, and right click the cursor in the reply box, then left click "paste", and if done properly, the link will appear in your reply, and the person can click on it to go to the page where the icture is. Try it!

Thanks mzzzquilts! I am glad someone knows their way around computers because it sure isn't me. I will try it the next time I need a picture!

Also you can highlight the page to be copied byholding down the mouse, once highlighted, hold down CTRl and the
letter C, go the page hwere you want it to appear, hold CTRl key and the letter V at the same time.
