Why can't I copy images anymore?
I used to be able to copy images from Flickr to BF just by using the "copy" function, but that no longer seems to be an option here. What's the deal?

I don't know about "copying" images, but Flickr has gone through some changes, so it's hard to know when you did this. Here's what I do:
Locate the image you want to post.
In the bottom right corner, there's an icon for "download all sizes". Click it.
Click on "View all sizes"
For Windows, (I don't know Apple) right click, then select "Copy Image Location".
Back in the forum, select the "Insert Image" icon.
Select "From URL" and clear the check box for "retrieve remote file" and paste the image location in the box. Click OK.
You get this:
Locate the image you want to post.
In the bottom right corner, there's an icon for "download all sizes". Click it.
Click on "View all sizes"
For Windows, (I don't know Apple) right click, then select "Copy Image Location".
Back in the forum, select the "Insert Image" icon.
Select "From URL" and clear the check box for "retrieve remote file" and paste the image location in the box. Click OK.
You get this:

Are you getting the selected image up on the screen by using the "download this photo" and "view all sizes" keys/buttons? These are accessed at the icons at the lower right corner of the screen.
That's the only way that I can left-click on a selected image/size in order to get a .jpg file to appear that can then be lifted using my ctrl-C >> clipboard.
So whatever image for which you're next using the left-click "properties" inquiry to get the file name, check to see that it is in fact a .JPG file.
One more issue that occasionally has cropped up with grabbing .jpg file names occurs when I get automatically signed out. The file names then default to non-.jpg filenames so I have to sign in again in order to make these appear as transferable .jpg filenames.

Some web sites use javascript to disable certain MB2 functions. With flickr I've found that bringing up the page source (CTRL-U in Firefox and Chrome) and then searching for "jpg" (CTRL-F in Firefox and Chrome) will find the image URL.

I saw what you did there! I'd really like to find a Superior in Flamingo, but those might be as rare as unicorn poop. I think Flamingo was only used by Schwinn for a year or two.
