Posting Picture Help

[pairofgreenhorns]

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,

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.

IMG not IMAGE.

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

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.

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...

I have anything I want to show already sized from photo bucket on my desktop. Just as Beans says ,browse your desk top,then attach the file.Done.
