A shortcut if you are browsing using MS Edge and you find a picture that you want to post. Just right click on the picture. Then left click “inspect” in the menu that comes up. Then use “cntr c” to copy the highlighted text that appears...
Then use “cntr v” to paste the text in the posting box on Free Republic. Sometimes you have to edit the text to get it to work right, but much of the time you don't have to do anything.
