Dragging and Dropping Photos into a post on this forum
I just discovered I can drag and drop photos from another website into this forum post (not from my local drive though) which makes things so much easier when posting a trip report. I will try this on my next trip report.
The photo below was dragged and dropped here from my Picasa site,
And the image below was dragged and dropped here from the Club web page,
I thought I would share as this makes things way easier than having to resize, save, click the camera button, click Upload, indicate a Title, Choose File, Browse to folder that contains the resized photo, select the relevant photo, click Save, tweak the Advanced Options if necessary and click Insert and then repeat this process with every other photo.
Now I just click Save, 1 click instead of 9 clicks per photo.
Except, as you can see, the photo does not fit in the site template, and you cannot click it to view an enlargement. Also, if the site you 'drag' it from does not allow other sites to display their images it will not work.
You can only drag those links to images if the image is already up on the web (i.e. it was uploaded to Picasa).
Also, this site scales uploaded images so that you do not download 3MB just to see a small version of the image. This means the page loads faster and uses less bandwidth. You only download the bigger image if you click on it to get the bigger version.

By ensuring the source image is say 400 pixels wide it will work.

True

Yup, no light box which is a bummer. But overall it saves a heck of a lot of time doing a trip report with many photos so in my opinion a better option, for the writer anyway.
