How do I post pics???

[bowheadwhale]

Hi!
It's been a while I am in these forums. From the beginning, I've had to ask others to post my pictures for me. As Photobucket was, during a long time, "blocked by filter service", the difficulty to upload my pictures myself to the forums was impossible to overcome. But now, thanks to the vanishing of the "blocking filter service" to Photobucket and help from Peter, now, I have my own account. Unfortunately, I still don't know how to post pictures from my Photobucket albums to the forums. Can someone give me a few clues, please?

If you have enabled public viewing in your Photobucket account you can embed the photo links with the help of the ...[/ i m g]-function.

And where is the "img" function? How do I find it and activate it?

First you copy the photograph link into the Message field.

Than you mark the whole link with the mouse

Than you click on the sign "insert image" which can you find at Add tags (second row, fourth sign) (see above).

OK. Let me try. I'll start practicing here.

I don't see anything. Do you?

[bowheadwhale]

See anything, anyone? Here, it seems the computer is too cheap to do anything good.

Well, this is one the wrong link

You have to use this one

s231.photobucket.com/albums/ee250/Bowheadwhale_photo/StinkoronImperial.jpg

Than you can embed this link with the -function

Oh! I see! I have to forget about the "?action=view&=" part. OK! I'll continue practicing.

[bowheadwhale]

Now, did it work?

[Melanie]

Yes!

On the "Plant pictures by Bowhead Whale" art thread, I succeeded posting new pictures!!!! Unfortunately, they are smaller than the previous ones. I hope that's OK.
