Help In Posting A Picture

I have tried to post a picture from Photobucket as I used too, that is, the picture appears with the post instead of just the web tag, (whatever you call it), and you have to click that to see the picture. Which of the four selections on Photobucket do you click to allow the picture to appear with the post?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

The bottom one. I believe it’s called “direct link”.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Robert,

This may not apply to Photobucket but I always right click the image and use Copy Image Location to capture the URL. Once I open up a post, I click the Insert Media icon (bottom row of icons above the text box and 3rd to the right - It looks like a tiny strip of film) and paste the URL into the Link to media text box. After clicking the Insert button, the picture immediately becomes visible in my post and I click the Post button to add it to the thread.

Hope that helps…

Tom

I am also having a big problem posting a picture from photo bucket to this forum. I did it once, but for some reason I can’t do it any more. I got help from a lot of you folks, with step by step instructions, but nothing seems to work. Some where along the line I’m missing something. May be, I left click,when I should be right clicking, and right click, when I should be left clicking. Who knows?

All you have to do is place your mouse over the box on the right side next to the “IMG code”. Left click on it and it will say “copied”. Then when you come to the forum you right click and hit paste. That should make your picture appear. Sorry for the misinformation last time. It is not “direct link”.
