Apple tablet users, anyone?

[Hezz]

Things have changed on my tablet recently, most probably an “update”, why the h*ll they don’t leave things alone unless you want to change, I don’t know … anyway it seems that I can no longer copy and paste an image to my post which means that I can’t enlarge photos to share. I’m not given a “paste” option, instead all I get is a QR symbol and “scan text”. There have been a few other minor changes as well, but this is the one that pis*es me off the most. Does anyone know if this is able to be overcome??

Any help appreciated.

Sorry I can't help you Hezz, I don't have any Apple products.

But stuff like that totally pi***s me off too, so I get your frustration.

I hope someone is able to help you 🤞

I googled it and found that someone had asked the question on an apple forum. Does this help?

"First you hold your finger down like you would normally do. Then you lift your finger an tap once where the blue line is. At this point the select or select all will pop up. You may have to play with it a little. I uploaded a video at YouTube. Here is the link: "


It's from: discussions.apple.com/thread/251819356

I hate it to when they change things, I’m very sensitive to resolution on anything, it can make me feel a bit sick. Even on a Tv

But yes, that’s how I do it as I have Apple stuff

Thanks all, especially Marianne. Unfortunately it doesn’t help my issue. I can copy/paste links, also text, but not images. I have to download an image to my own library and use from there which means that I can’t post an enlarged version of a photo.

What a pain. My firefox recently updated and I was confused at first that it now says Copy image link when I right click on it rather than whatever it said before.

I have never been able to copy the actual photo

What does yours say?

Hezz I have an iPad and have the same issue. It’s the same when I put a vidio on from utube, just not easy.

I just tried and when I hold my finger on the photo, I get the option to save to my photos. In there I can edit, then enlarge using my fingers.

Very convoluted but should work

Hezz? I am being stupid…..but where are you trying to save pictures from? And copy and paste to where?

[Marianne Marlow]

What you need to copy is the link to the image location and then paste it between the image codes [img] [/img]

For instance, my profile pic is [img]https://storage2.proboards.com/3362550/avatar/HfIClsQmuzjmjLUUJmOu.jpg[/img]

If you copy and paste it, it comes out as:

ladybird, not being stupid at all. If I tap a photo on the forum, for example, to enlarge it in a separate window and wish to copy that back into a reply my options are:
Save Image
Copy Image
Open Image
Open Image in new Tab
Search Google for this Image.

Previously all I needed to do was tap the “Copy Image” option, go to Quick Reply, tap in the quick reply box and one of the options would be “Paste”. Then paste the image link with the addition of the [/img] for a full size photo.
There is no “Paste” option anymore. The only place I really use the function is on this forum so I have no idea whether it works anywhere else. I can save the image, open it, but without a Paste option there is no way of knowing whether it is even copying. The options I get are “Select, Select All, or Scan”. I’ve tried fiddling with all combos with no success. Tried the old turn off, turn back on default, which did manage to give me the “Select a d Select All” options

As I’ve said previously, I have tried copy/paste with text, that seems to work okay, and so does copying a web address. With both of these I get “paste” as one of my options.

Copying the “Image Location” was an old option, hasn’t been on my tablet for some time; “Copy Image” seemed to have taken its place.
