How to add previously uploaded photos to new threads?!?!?

[Blevinsax]

I have uploaded several photos that I think would be appropriate in some new threads, but I cannot figure out how to add them to the new thread without uploading the photo again - besides, the system will not allow the same photo to be uploaded twice...

Any help?

link the originally linked thread to the one you want to add the pics to. or upload the pics again to photobucket and copy the img text.

Or save the photo to photoshop or similar photo editor, reduce the pixel size or the photo dimensions, just one tiny littel change then save it and you can now use it for a new post.

That's an easy side-step, but I was hoping there was a way to link the existing photo to the new thread rather than having to go through changing it, then re-uploading it.

The software won't let you have an image in two places.

However, you can use a link to send members to the photo.

Right click on the photo and select "Copy image location".

Paste the link into the new post.

The only alternative is to use a photo hosting service. Then you can put the photo anywhere you wish.

yes, for that, just right click on the number in the corner of the post you want to link. it will give you the option to copy the post location "shortcut" to clipboard, then just paste it into your new post.
simple.

Okay, I see how I can do this. I'll just have to post it in my own webspace - like this:
