Adding off site photos

As far as I know, nothing has changed. I still see photos being added to posts. Maybe someone who is doing it will reply.

OK, I'll try again.

Here is a photo from Photobucket, I just copied and pasted the Image Code, for message boards.

Why doesn't this work here? It works on every other board I visit.

Hi Dave,

instead of using the Image Code, take the HTML Code and it will work as you can see hereafter:

Good luck.

Hi Ken,
open your photobucket album and select with your mouse finger the photo which should be transferred. A command box will open immediately. Make one left mouseclick on the line HTML code and the right part of that line will appear dark blue.
Copy the dark blue part with one right mouseclick and paste the copy with one right miouseclick into your posting. Like this.

I`m sure you`ll make it.

Does this site keep changing its' protocol for posting photos?
Last week when I had a problem someone told me how to post a photo and it worked.
Today it doesn't.
I am using a macbook pro, same as before. why can't I post a photo?

This site is Damnably frustrating to post a photo on. I have spent hours of time wasted on trying to solve this problem when on other sites it is so easy.
I use bicpics .com and have tried
I have tried
I have tried just the address
NOTHING WORKS TO POST A PHOTO HERE it simply is not allowed that I post a photo.
I am using a macbook pro, is that the reason I cannot post photos?

I just noticed that above when I tried to describe the problem it even left off half the sentence I typed so that I cannot even describe the problem. The second line I typed above has half of the sentence missing. It won't even let me describe the problem.

I finally got a photo to post but it was so enlarged it could not be properly viewed.
so I erased it and went back and tried again without first clicking on the photo( which enlarges it from thumbnail to proper size. All I got was a blue square with a question mark
WHAT IN EASY CLEAR CONCISE STEPS LEAVING NOTHING OUT, WILL POST A PHOTO from a mac book?

Here is the identical post with it checked...

When trying to describe a code problem, put a check in the box above SUBMIT that says disable html. That will let us see it.

Phel, it took me several, several months to figure out the photo posting process. I too tried editing your recent post, but the pics posted too large to view. Hope you get the pics back up; the 2nd pic was really good.

Here's "my" method:
1. Resize pic, that is, make it smaller as it will post in the "saved" size;
2. Post to web hosting site -- such as our albums, etc.; and
3. Insert in forum post: where "xxxxx" is the "Image Location" without spaces after before .

By the way, the code for the Image Location needs to be the the specific pic rather than a group/collection/album location.

So you get this: Here's a pic from the albums of Ol'Man in Texas' rig:

When eliminating the three dots "..." after "" you get:

Whew!
I don't use any of the trick offsite photo caches (I'm kinda coal fired being an old fart). To much Hu'MaliMali.
I resize shots from my computor picture file to fit the parameters for insertion here.

Lo tech works for me.
