It must depend on the device you use, Copy and paste doesn't work for me.

Good morning, Maw! grin

rufus I google the subject then just “copy and paste” the title and it comes up as a link
For pictures I click “choose file”:then go to my pictures on my iPad, select and bingo.

Rufus , any image I want to post from the internet, I save as a jpeg first, in a file I called Gransnet, then I can use the browse facility to post on GN..
I have never been able to get a file in any other format to post.

Hi Rufus I believe they do have to be jpeg files - I've not tried a PDF one. I often find the only way to locate the file is to put it on the desktop - it depends which device I'm using but if the actual button below isn't working it sounds more technical.

None of the file extensions I've tried work for me. The "Browse" button under the entry panel doesn't do a thing! Does everything have to be JPEG?
