Hi Steve,

In the top right corner of the Google street view box there is a "Link" selection. Just left click this and it will show you a highlighted link. Place your cursor over the highlight and right click and select COPY. Then place your cursor in your forum posting and right click and select PASTE.

If you wanted to display the image rather than just the link then you can copy your computer screen image by hitting your PrtSc (Print Screen) key somewhere near top right of your keyboard. You can then paste it into an image file and upload it to Photobucket etc etc.

HTH

Peter

Thanks Peter I'll try that (I thought I had but must have been doing something wrong)

OK I've done that and posted something on the caravan page but it just comes up as a link, is there any way it can be pasted as a photo, I'm sure I,ve seen others do this in the past.

Hi Steve,

I added a little to my previous reply. Unfortunately I don't think you can access a .jpg file from the street view page so you can't just pull in an image with {img} image {/img}. You have to take a screen print and crop out the photo part and store it in Photobucket etc etc. It can be done but it's a bit of a faff.

Peter

Thanks again Pete, Ive posted it on the caravan site and the link works fine so that will do, as you say it seems a lot of fuse to get it up as a photo
