I do not know your computer or phone. What I do is pose the cursor on my monitor over the image I want to cut and paste. I wait for the cue menue to appear after I left click my mouse. I read "copy image link" and click to NOTEPAD with a right click, which O then "hold in memory until I go to the textbox for quick reply. Above that textbos blank is a toolbar that begins with Font Face.(has a drop down arrow). I slide my cursor left 19 "tool hot spots" until my cursor reads "Insert image" with a cue "pop-up". I rght click my mouse to activate it, until the cue script box appears, which should read with two text lines Image URL: on the top line and Alt Text: on the bottom line. I put my cursor over the text box for the URL: and left click the cursor to copy paste the notepad held "copy image link" into the text box. Then I hit the insert image button. Alternately, once you have the "copy image link"  stored in notepad, you can type [img src="" style="max-width:100%;"] [/url] putting "https://i.ibb.co/C7bFTBb/R.jpg" between ![]() ![]() bracket ![]() "img" bracket ![]() text space [/img] (read as bracket "forward slash img" bracket) and it will appear. I use either method as it suits me. It is muscle memory and I really do not think about it.  without the space breaks to get the image to appear. Due to weird HTML on this site [/img] without the forward slash ![]() ![]() just disappears. so I had to spell it out bracket "img" bracket, but you get the idea? [/quote][/div]
Thanks much I'll give that a try.

Now for the important questions
1. Did it keep your interest enough to read it through to the end? I just read it over on HPCA and yes, it kept my attention to the end. Great stuff, thanks for that! Very [/font] [/quote] Definitely. As an aside, I think Willis Augustus Lee's nickname was 'Ching'. Short for 'Ching Chong China Lee' when he was at the Academy.  But I distinctly remember a passage in Hammel's Guadalcanal: Decision at Sea where he is setting up Second Guadalcanal. Lee's battleships and four destroyers had been sent in without a call sign, nor anyone else's call signs nor code words, etc. A couple of the PT Boats from Tulagi were overheard on the TBS circuit saying, "There are two really big ones, but I don't know whose they are..." Lee himself broke in on the TBS circuit and asked for information. He got a terse "We do not recognize you!" in reply. His response sticks in my head: "Refer your big boss about Ching Lee, savvy? Call off your boys!" Lee then got a response that the officer knew who he was, but had no information.... |
