My DS is pictured on a website news page, how can I copy it before it disappears?

Right click on the picture and select 'Save Image As' (or something similar, depending on your browser).

mrV beat me.
Save it to somewhere in my pictures folder or whatever you wish, from the drop-down on the location bar.
BTW, bookmark the page as well and then hopefully it won't disappear and you'll be able to get at the page for as long as you wish!!

That's the most interesting request I have had today wink

hornswoggle Sun 16-Nov-08 00:19:07

none of that is working

can I say the site?

I've copied loads but its not showing the pic I want

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 00:22:46

erm, could you link it?
understand if you'd rather not

my email's on my profile if you'd rather send it, umm, non-publicly. see if mrV is still about in case i am being dimwitch tonight wink

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 00:24:33

not a bit bothered about being outed, wwe.com raw belfast, 1st pic little guy in grey top

hornswoggle Sun 16-Nov-08 00:28:43

please help, he wont be in the news for much longer

MrVibrating Sun 16-Nov-08 00:37:15

Oh it's a flash image - they do that to stop copying. Are you OK with a screen grab? I'll do it for you.

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 00:41:19

got the pic, but see what you mean blardy adobe flash player isn't wanting to let us in. Gits. Have you done 'save page as...' for now - you have to click over at the far left or right so that you are only clicking on the background, before it will let you do it.
Have tried being mega-geek and went into the menu's got all the logos and images and everything, but it just gave me little blank grey boxes for the pics. Will bookmark it for morning and get mrWitch on it wink as he is the Ultimate Geek round these parts.
Catch you tomorrow unless i figure somethin out in the next 10 mins or so grin

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 00:41:58

oooh MrV is back.
Nice one.
(smug geek) grin

MrVibrating Sun 16-Nov-08 00:56:36

Hmm, something strange on my site. You should be able to get it here by right-clicking the image, but I seem to have something wrong with my MIME types (oops, ultra-geeky moment, sorry).

So in the meantime, use this link instead - I will remove that when I have the first one working though.

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 01:00:23

nice one mr V.
Insults aside, I am very glad you managed it.
May we all get some sleep now grin

hornswoggle Sun 16-Nov-08 01:28:12

glad its so funny for you all

I did'nt ever think my SN son would be in this position-ie very happy

I havent got the pic I wanted, but mn is odd lately

I'll treasure the moment anyway

and you will all still be rude geeks

gigglewitch Sun 16-Nov-08 09:54:10

aww HS, he is such a cutie.
obv no idea he's got sen either. see from the last post that it makes it even more important.
Mr V has linked to it, did you get the pic last night?

MrVibrating Sun 16-Nov-08 13:30:41

hornswoggle I am sorry that you found the banter between myself and gigglewitch offensive, and that you have not been able to get the picture following my unclear instructions.

If you click on this link the picture should be loaded in another window or tab in your browser. Right-click on the picture, and choose 'Save Picture As', then save it somewhere you can find it (it will probably default to 'My Pictures').

Note that that picture appears a bit 'pixellated' because that is how it was stored on the original site. If you don't have image editing software you can use, you might like to do the right-click and save thing with the picture that is displayed on this page instead.

hornswoggle Sun 16-Nov-08 23:27:13

so sorry I was such an arse last night

Thank you MrV and Giggle for your help

I got the pic and have sent it to everyone I know

My Ds is over the moon

I'm really really sorry for being rude and you are not geeks at all but salt of the earth fab people

Thank you

No problem, always a pleasure to help smile. I'll take the pictures down from my site now for the sake of your privacy and the owner's copyright.

gigglewitch Mon 17-Nov-08 00:27:47

actually I take being called a geek as a compliment grin

glad you got the pic in the end. Enjoy - and be proud of your little lad smile
