Photobucket images of non HJG

[almguy1]

I set up PhotoBkt and upoaded my pics to it yesterday. I read the instruction on how to post screenshots using the brackets.
I did not see the brackets come up on new thread, am I supposed
to click on insert hyperlink? which is what I did and placed the url
between the brackets.

That went ok but when I hit post button everything froze and it never posted also the message dissapeared.
I relooked over the instructions and could not find a problem
Tried a second time same thing.
I know I must be not doing something right not sure what.
the resolution was 800x600.
thanks

use these brackets [ img ] [/ img ] (except without the spaces) put them around the "direct link" for the image.

example.

the following direct link to the image img178.imageshack.us/img178/8392/aaoveralaska2.jpg
click on it and you will see the picture. (notice this shows only the picture nothing else, this is what you want)

now using the above brackets, i mentioned before, wrap them around the link as so

to get the image to display



another example.

the link img828.imageshack.us/img828/4235/rafc130j.jpg

the code for posting [img]http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4235/rafc130j.jpg

there you go.

YEP .... as "HITPERSON" advises ....

For further clarification ....

1. Select(Click on the "picture frame icon" (4th from the left in the 2nd row of ADD TAGS icons which appear antine one is posting on this forum .... that will automatically apply the 2 IMG and /IMG tags (with square brackets) to your posting.

2. Simply add/copy & paste your PHOTOBUCKET image URL between the brackaets associatd with these 2 tags .... and then add whatever text you wish to communicate .... thjen select "POST REPLY" as normal.

These actions will/should (if undertaken correectly) result in you posting appearing with full size 800X600 images.

You will also need to ensure that you have activated the default "800X600" image size option in your PHOTOBUCKET OTIONS page.

All this should see you right !

For whatever irritating "state of the network" reason that might apply .... this "CAN" and does sometimes happen, on this or any other forum, in fact it´s happened to me here a few times recently.

Unfortunately there´s nothing/bugger-all that we here can do about it.

To help avoid these occasional nuisences .... I usually type my text in WINDOWS NOTEPAD first .... then copy & paste it to my intended forum posting when ready, so if I strike such an issue like this, and my text is inadvertently lost, then I don´t need to type the whole darned thing again.

It´s an easy solution to situations like this

Generally speaking ... such a posting failure won´t/shouldn´t result in your screen locking/freezing.

If it does .... then that´s something I don't think we can help resolve

There is way. In Photobucket, just click on code to activate automatic copy and then paste it on forum post which will automatically include img bracelets.

Exactly, there is a picture link option in PB, the bottom one, click that and it's copied, just past it into the post.

Nothing else needs to be done

That may not work in some cases .... and on some PC´s !

In fact I can assure you, in my case (at least), here in Colombia, that method "does not" seem to work.

Therefore .... I prefer recommending, what I consider does works "BEST" and is "EASIEST" (as we´ve instructed above), for those folk whom are either new "HERE", or, maybe not so familiar with various page options and settings.

It´s just that too much advice (in respect of "do this" or "do that") can result on some people becomming confused .... and which is what I'd like to try´n avoid here if possible !
