Posting Photos on this site

[Rob Roy]

I usually have no problems posting photos on various web forums, or on Le Bon Coin, but getting them on here is defeating me for some reason. I have read the sticky here about how to post pictures - most of my pictures I upload to Photobucket anyway as a back-up measure - but I'm obviously doing something wrong! All that comes up on a posting is the techie jargon about the picture. Help please, it is so frustrating!

From photobucket choose the bottom option "img code" , then paste it in your posting .

OK, lets see -

Oh, Krusty, you Great Big Elephant, I still laugh when I think about the picture you posted of yourself tucked up in bed![:D]

Grrrr! I notice the 'img' at the end of the thread is not showing on the posting, although it did when it was in the message box. Could that be the problem?

Your image link should contain the text between the [ IMG] tags only, as shown below (next to?) the selected image in your Photobucket album, not

the whole Photobucket URL.

See here

for more details.

When you are looking at your album in photo bucket you will see a menu that says share your image , if you click on the bottom option it will say "copied".

It is now on your clipboard , you then just paste into your posting.

I have removed some brackets so you can see what it looks like.

There is definately something funny happening here. As I said I post pictures a lot on another forum and le Bon Coin and have never had a problem. I just tried again with another picture here and it is still not coming up as a photo. I double checked what I had copied from Photobucket and it read as you suggested Krusty, and as I know it should but it doesn't come onto the forum post like that...

Edit:

It even showed the picture in preview but not now!

Edit again:

border="0" /> - What's this? it seems to be replacing [img] at the end of the link between the time I put the link on the message and it transfers to the forum screen.

Some lovely hedgehog pictures in your album.

Thank you. That little chap (or chapess?) was snuffling around our garden for 4 - 5 days. It didn't seem a bit bothered by us unless we got very, very close. Unfortunately it was really difficult to try and get a shot of it with it's head up, as it was searching for food all the time of course.
