pairofgreenhorns Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Every time I try to post a picture it only posts the link rather then the actual photo. Can someone help direct me how to make it so that the photo is actually showing and not the link to the photo on an external site? I have the photos posted on Photobucket and what I have been doing is taking thier link for posting in forums and inserting it like so: [image ] LINK [ /image] without the spaces. This is how I was directed to post by other users. Doing this though still only ends up showing the link itself and not the actual photo when I preview it. Any additional advice is appreciated! Thanks, Ashley (Ryan's other half) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 When you're on the Photobucket site, open the pic you want to post. On the right hand side of the screen you'll be given a few options. Email & IM, Direct, HTML and IMG. Click IMG, this will copy the image link to your clipboard.. Simply press Ctrl + V or right click paste when making your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pairofgreenhorns Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks everyone. I will try that again. When I was doing that before (copying the IMG link) it was posting a live link to the photo once I previewed my post. Mine have on either side of it when I copy the link... is this supposed to be there? Or should I delete that and just keep the part of the link that is between the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) The URL tags should be there... It's normal, don't edit it. The forum code will not allow you to post bare IMG tags, which is stupid. Edited November 20, 2013 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Have you tried using the OFC way of posting pics ??? At the bottom of a post there is an area that sez "Attach Files" Choose the file you want from your computer then follow directions... This posts a thumbnail into your post but people can see the larger version by clicking on it... Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
