The Boom Boom Room (Yes, it's Bono's Thread)

[jeevey]

We have embed options for twitter, vine and soundcloud now but still no instagram. You can't even right click>save them! Maybe a screenshot?

Right click on the image --> View Page source.

Scroll down to line 112 (at least in this code)

There you'll find the url and you can copy and paste it in your browser bar.
Right click save and your done.

For the lazy among us :

Hi ladies,

Any idea how to post instagram pictures here?

I think this is a great one: https://instagram.com/p/48WMFKNUqB/?taken-by=u2oficial

Nice pic!

Domo, how do you know which line is the image you want? I tried it and couldn't figure out which url is the one you want.

I do it this way, might be easier! Right click the image and choose "view page info" (not page source).

There will be tabs in the box that pops up, choose the MEDIA tag.

You now have a lot less lines of code to sift through (usually only about 10-15), and the best thing is that it shows you the actual picture of each one in the preview box. Find the one you want and there's a "save as" button.

Thanks ladies,

I noticed that if you drag the link of the pic to a new tab in your browser, copy it from there, you'll have the link to the pic itself. Seems to be on facebook's server, so I don't worry to much about being bad deeplinking this.

Nice pic!

Yeah, I personally think it's one of the better ones of his 'unfortunately he's aging'-days.

Spoiler

Still am kinda sad I wasn't paying much attention in these days:

Spoiler

.. or in these

 

[bonocomet]

Haha me too on the first pic. I was paying close attention by the second one.

And yes, you can drag the link straight into your address bar if you don't want to actually save the picture. It's still a lot easier to find when you use the "view page info" and media tab. (Unless I'm not understanding something in domo's method!)

 

[domo-kun]

Oh learning from the best crook on the forum comet!
I never changed the tab to media before. Saves a lot of trouble.
Reading html and CSS is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. But time saving is always welcome when hunting for pictures on instagram and the like.

 

[Heartland_Edge]

Sorry if other band members are in the pic too.

 

[BarefootDancer]

Tried to figure out if it was possible to embed instagram vids here, but it isn't that easy as with photo's, if not impossible.

Too bad, as this is a great gif!

Got the direct link though, but it's an mp4 and can't embed that here. Here's the link for those interested: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/h...16/11389645_1638169613064526_1323929362_n.mp4

And could extract this pic of it, unfortunately not one of the latter pics in the vid.

 

[Heartland_Edge]

Only got 1 of B during SBS from meerkat.

I was about to log in to post the exact same link! Love how the hair's getting it's own life.
And the rest of the vid is awesome!

(is there a way to embed instagram?)

Yes and no. With some effort you can embed Instagram pics, but not (yet?) the videos:

Right click the image and choose "view page info" (not page source).

There will be tabs in the box that pops up, choose the MEDIA tag.

.. Or drag the link to the adress bar, copy the link and you can use that to post the image here directly.

Still need some work to get used to old current B , but this one's really helping!

(Sorry for bringing Alicia into our room!)

Spoiler

Needed something to get this one out of my head

Spoiler

It really isn't good!

Spoiler

Okay, if you insist!

Spoiler

Spoiler

It actually is someone's ava here
(And am finding out if this is really B! See here.)

 

[dazzledbylight]

yeah i hear you, BD

but i did not look at your second spoiler photo!

with the certain angles of photos and twinkling eyes and a open smile (vs a more smirky one) he still got it !

Spoiler

thank goodness

Spoiler

so far I think edge is aging better than B whether mix of genetics, lifestyle etc If Bono is #1 for me Edge is my# 1 1/2

luckily i was seriuosy paying attention By JT time ! (oh dear lordy) and some what before too

ETA
alicia who? if you mean Alicia Keys she's welcome here too imo

 

[bonocomet]

The spoiler pic is definitely him. It's pretty old and has been posted here lots of times along with many more from that day. IMO it's fine and has a place here as much as any other pic. Remember this thread is all Bono all the time, and I do mean all of him. Besides, I really don't give a flying firetruck that his body doesn't look like a greek god ideal or something. And that's what I have to say about that.

 

[bonocomet]

 

[BarefootDancer]

No worries, Dazz, the (awful) pic is only in the 4th spoiler in that row.
Awesome that you didn't look , I'm way too curious for that.
Edited: Comet posted at the same time. So I guess, you've probably already seen it.


Edited 2: Sorry Comet, as a newby in this fangirl thing, I know I only can blame myself for not becoming one earlier. And you're right, Bono all the time works well for me too! But I'm not removing the next comment though! ;-)

It's really sad that the lighting of the stage doesn't do B very well. Most pics I like are taken in daylight, in particular the ones in which you can see his eyes and some sort of a smile.

Spoiler

And yeah, this is not the right place to confess , but the others age a little bit nicer than our favorite character. Edge sure does, but I also start feeling some for Adam, as he really seems to enjoy this tour. I only see pics of him laughing and having fun.

And man, do I like skinny guys... .

Don't tell B!

 

[bonocomet]

All in the eyes of the beholder I guess. To my eyes Bono still looks best.

For me, Adam has aged the most. And I don't see the whole Larry hasn't aged thing.

All in the eyes of the beholder!

Oh, most def! B stays no 1 for me, that'll never change.
But keep in mind that I started as a fangirl and catching up his 35 years in the spotlight only two months ago - so the aging came quite quick for me ;-) - by drooling in (t)his room. Will never leave it for the castle!

Spoiler

Unless B's moving into one and I can come along! ;-)

Yes, Adam also aged a lot, but his current cheer and great outfits makes him look so much younger.
Save to say here, but I never understood the whole Larry hype, young and old! ;-)

Okay, back to B! Love that last Revo pic!

 

[bonocomet]

I am actually shocked they didn't photoshop away all his freckles. Hallelujah!

I completely agree!

 

[dragonfly_wolfe]

Me too. I rather liked his round tummy.

Well, that much change is a bit of as shock in a such short time!

Adam was haVInG greet time at 360, too, from what I saw!
Actually for this tour his wild hair sort reminds me of the fro! i thinkit works well on stage!

yes sometimes stage lighting is not always good for B!

Yes I ve been very lucky to get closer and closer to B in 2001, 2005 outside MSG and finally met him ( as I define a meet) Letterman in 2011 ?
But all the near meets & meeting etc further away from lighting at night, or in shade during the day I have yet to see his blue eyes!

My goal for the next waiting in afternoon at MSG along with a GA!

Spoiler

if you're invited to his new Castle hope you'll bring us along!
