Sab in Paris Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi There,I'm new here - I'm a Paris street photographer and wondered if this would be a good place to post a few pics from time to time.I'm currently playing around with my little iPhone as a challenge to push myself to be creative even with basic equipment.I also write words to go with them, as a sort of Paris chronicle. I'd love to know what anyone thinks, many thanks!By the way, I can't get the image to show, but you can find it on my blog, sorry, I tried for an hour!iPhone Photo Blog: http://paris-and-i.parissetmefree.com/ [IMG]http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa383/Sab_in_Paris/IMG_5535_400.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sab in Paris Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I Alex, thanks, I'm glad you find the pic interesting :-)About posting pix, boy, I tried for ages, including rather pointlessly setting up a Photobucket account... (I use Flickr - 'parissetmefree') Oh well, I'll get there on the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex H Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You have too much there. You only need[ I M G ]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UTNbwle01Mo/TYi7DsqWRkI/AAAAAAAACZ0/BNvIZONQKLI/s400/IMG_5622.JPG[ / I M G]take out the spaces[IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UTNbwle01Mo/TYi7DsqWRkI/AAAAAAAACZ0/BNvIZONQKLI/s400/IMG_5622.JPG[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You only need to cut and paste the location with IMG at the front and /IMG at the end :-) (in square brackets - I have to take them out, otherwise you won't see what I'm telling you) So what you need is this http://www.parissetmefree.com/images/misc/q_400.jpgwith [/IMG] at the front without the /and [/IMG] at the end with the /and you get this[IMG]http://www.parissetmefree.com/images/misc/q_400.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sab in Paris Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Again Alex - many thanks for all your help. I'm not such a dimbo ;-) , and I've done exactly what you've said (and what it said in the instructions) from the start, but somewhere along the line it turns into what you see in the forum. Don't waste any more time on it - I'll keep trying from time to time until I work it out!Cheers, and hope you have time to look at my Paris photos anyway :-DSab in Paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I wonder if you are using a Mac, Sab?Not that I know anything about the technicalities, but I am currently using one and find that when I use Safari as a browser I cannot insert "live" links to other webpages, or even quote a preceding message from the forum. When I switch to Firefox browser, I can.I am sure someone will be along in a minute to say that it should not make the slightest bit of difference in your case though.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sab in Paris Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hi Angela, no I use a PC, oh, and thanks for taking the time to comment on my picture posing problems :-DI thought I would have been well into discussing photography by this time but it was not to be!I've never had problems doing this anywhere else, and I swear I type it just as I'm supposed to. Probably haven't clicked something somewhere or other. I'll work it out. Thanks again!Oh, I should probably mention that the photo DOES show up in the preview view...

Russethouse Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Are you clicking on the ball and chain 'link' icon ? Highlight the link text, right click on 'select all', then click on ball and chain icon, paste link into box, click OK...should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sab in Paris Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ahh, Russethouse... if only I had any sort of icon - this would be some small comfort. as it is... there is nothing. Just a plain white box surrounded by more plain white desert, into which I'm typing my tired tirades...Weirdly though, I see that my last image DID show up! I only put the image link in there though - nothing else at all, which isn't very interesting. Thanks for the comment :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I made your last image 'live'What browser are you using ? Have you tried clicking on the compatibility button (like a torn piece of paper next to the address bar) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you are using a browser like Opera, you cannot post pictures with it. You have to use firefox or ie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
