[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8147317, member: 120820"]There seems to have been a fairly recent (last few weeks) change to many eBay listings that makes it harder to save coin photos ... I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to do this. It used to be that you could simply right click on an image and select "Save Image As ...", but they've changed something so that option no longer appears most of the time. You can always just take a screenshot and load it into your favorite image editor (GIMP for me), but if you want to save the image directly here's a way that works in FireFox. 1) Right click on the photo and select "Inspect" (bottom menu choice), which will show you the HTML of the thing you clicked on (see example below) 2) The top line of the HTML should contain src="[URL]https://.../s-1500.jpg[/URL]" or something similar 3) Right click on that https: URL and select "Open Link in New Tab" 4) Go to new tab and save image as before 5) To save additional images (e.g. other side of coin), click on it on the listing page to switch to it as normal, then repeat above "Inspect" etc process. As always these step-by-step descriptions sound worse than they are - it only takes a few seconds to do. [ATTACH=full]1421007[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
