Long press the image on a page and choose "view image" in the popup menu. You can then copy the image URL from the address bar. this works in ICS, I don't have an earlier version of Android in from of me to test.:)

On on the 3rd day with my skyrocket coming from a iPhone 3g and so far I'm hating it.



There are plenty things I love about the phone like making my own ringtones ect...



But I mostly use my phone for internet forums (such as this one) and I find it lacking.


biggest issue I had is with pictures. It didn't want to load half the pics. And since one of my favorite pass times is reading rockcrawler build threads with lots of pics that's a big problem.


SO i got another browser (dolphin hd) that didn't do any better.

then I got dolphin mini. that showed the pics but stacked them horizontally causing the screen to be so gigantic it took for ever to scroll around.

Then I tried Opera. This browser loads the pics nice but ever time I write a reply is kicks me back to home screen.:mad:


And these issues are not just on one site. I'm having problems with pirate4x4, suzukicrawlers, zukiworld ect...



My old ass iPhone did not have any of these problems. It would load every page just fine and show every pic....

Well since I actually got a response here maybe I can get a response of what I posted in the iPhone support thread.

I'm sorry to hear you had no responses to your original thread. I'm going to look it up to see where it is as I was unaware there was an iPhone forum here. I was curious if my suggestion above worked for you, as others that stumble across this thread would like to know. As far as your issues with pictures in the above post, I have only had sporadic image download issues, but I am on a different phone than you. You may want to check in with your phone's forum (Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket - Android Forums) where you can get help from users with specific knowledge to your new phone.

Again, I hope I helped and welcome to Android Forums.:)

edit: I see you are already in the right spot, so ignore that part of my post.:D I also found your first post was in a kind of conglomerate sticky. While probably a good start, sometimes questions get lost in those:(. Hopefully the nice folks over here will pick up on your other questions regarding image downloads.
 
I can confirm that the long press solution, previously mentioned, works for this device.

Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket
Gingerbread 2.3.5

I'm going to look it up to see where it is as I was unaware there was an iPhone forum here. I was curious if my suggestion above worked for you, Well I can copy the pic location in the address bar but for some reason it doesn't copy the http:// in the being of the address. So along with the added clicks to go to "view image" then copy the address bar I also have to zoom in and add http:// to every address of every pic I am trying to post.

This turned a simple 2 click process on the iPhone in to a 10-15 click process on my skyrocket. I tried this on my wife's Atrix2 and it works great. So it's definitely a SR problem.

Sorry, I must have been posting my edit while you were posting. I found this thread using the "Unanswered Threads" link and sometimes I am guilty of not catching where it is posted:o.

It does on ICS, I will try it on my older phone when I get home to see if there is an option to show the http:// in the url so it would be included in the copy / paste.
 
copying the url works for me and im not on ICS

i view a lot of forums too and so far no problems viewing content in fact its kind of awesome i can watch embedded youtube videos and such now.
