Difficulty posting screenshots
« on: February 23, 2013, 05:53:03 PM »
So, I was following Pam's post about putting screenshots on from photobucket, but it is failing.  There is the comment about hitting the "share" button, and then getting a code.  The share button isn't giving me the code option.  Help please?

Photobucket very recently changed it's layout.   The best way to do it is to click on the picture and you'll see a code box.   You want to hit the [*img] button and it should copy.  Then go to your post and choose paste to place the picture coding.

Edit to Add photos.    There are two ways to get the links to post.  Here are pictures.  You can choose the individual picture or you can choose to have the links show on the library page as well.

It might have worked.  In the preview, should I see the image, or just a blank thumbnail?

When you hit preview for an image on the forum, you'll see the picture.  Make sure you're getting the whole address copied.

There was an extra "http ://img" and "[/img]" Is this the screenshot you had?

Your address had two http: //img and two [/img], which messed up the address. Only one is needed to get the screenshot to appear.

I see.  I was hitting the button to insert and image and then pasting the address in between.  Thank you for teaching me your ways, oh great one!!  I now feel A) foolish for not figuring that out, and B) relieved that I know what I'm doing!

Hi! Does this also apply to Flickr? I use Flickr for photo sharing and am still a little confused about how to upload a picture. Thanks!
