ok..in your photobucket album there are URL's listed below each picture. URL, TAG, IMG copy the info in the "Img" and paste it into your post. It already has the required tags either side of the image URL. For example...in the sample album they have on the site the first picture..."Sand Sculpture" has : URL: http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/demouser/1299.jpg Tag: <img src=http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/demouser/1299.jpg > Img: [IMG]http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/demouser/1299.jpg[/IMG] Copy the information in the IMG box ( [IMG]http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v13/demouser/1299.jpg[/IMG] ) and paste it into your ClubGTI forum post. Job done
Wow, That is big!lol You need to resize it. You can do it in microsoft paint and re-upload it to photobucket. Saying that i think photobucket can resize it for you.
Hi, I am trying to repair broken image links i my older posts. I uploaded my pictures to some img hosting site. I can copy the URL and open the picture in browser window. I can put the picture into this forum usig IMG tags, I can see the picture i "preview", but as soon as I hit "safe" or "post reply" all pictures ar gone, just the "red X icons".. whats wrong ? is the problem between chair and keyboard ? or is it some limitation of free img hosting ?
many img hosing companies dont like hotlinking, and some of those that do mess up when fed through our image proxy system. easiest and best option is upload the images direct to the forum then they'll never get lost
