Using Firefox,
Copying and trying to Paste an image into the body of message had no reaction -- though I will say I hadn't even noticed the Upload Images button until it was mentioned in here! I've been using PIP for about a year!

To copy an image from the internet, right click it and choose "Copy Image". Then right click in your message and click "Paste" or hit CTRL-V. Works fine here...

Slight correction. You need to Right Click on the selected image, choose Copy Image, and then Paste it in the posting text box. [EDIT] This appears to only work while accessing an image stored locally on a hard drive. See post below.
And a friendly reminder to everyone posting images, expecially now that it's getting easier and easier to do so here. Pay attention to where you're positioning the image link within the posting text box! We don't need to be seeing more and more images located in the middle of a sentence! 
[EDIT] And maybe Cliff can address this... but I suspect to avoid a clickable image icon from appearing in a post (instead of an image), that the current maximum file size is still 2 MB (despite the icon indicating >300 KB)?

Well, I'm telling ya... it didn't work yesterday. Not just for me, but for several others here.
However, it does appear to be working today, so that's great!
Cliff, you might want to slightly edit your first post (to cut down on any confusion), as there are actually three different "Copy" options to choose from when an image is right-clicked.

On the original image, simply right click it and choose "copy".

IMPORTANT:
When you upload images using the "Upload Image" button, the system uses the filename to see if you have posted that images before and will tell you that the image already exists on the server. That way, no duplicates are stored. By using the copy & paste option, there's no way for the system to know if this image has been uploaded before or not. So do not copy and paste the same image over and over again, since this will create duplicates and waste precious storage space on my server. |

Add a MD5 or other hash to copy/past imgs would help...
"Adding" the hash can as simple as file naming.
The warning if new c/p imgs has same showing first img.------------------

That's actually a pretty good idea. I'll look into it.
