UPDATE - The Just Giving page has just reached £2,500, which in under a week, is fantastic. Thank you to anyone who has donated, but there is still more to do. If you can spare anything at all, please visit the above link.

Due to circumstances beyond the bands control, this gig has been cancelled. Apologies to anyone that has been inconvenienced. The venue are refunding those who have already purchased tickets.

Dear all, A good friend of ours and fellow bass player has a three year old son (Kyle) who has been diagnosed with Hypertonia. In essence, the signal path from brain to legs is interrupted. He has been accepted at The St.Louis Children's Hospital in the USA for an operation which will hopefully allow him to walk. Without the operation, the possibility of him ever being able to looks bleak. It's a fairly huge operation for the lad and he will be in hospital for a week followed by three weeks intensive physiotherapy. As you can imagine, this will not be a cheap venture; all in around £40-50k, depending on what deals we can arrange for them. All I ask is that you read the story [url="https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/natasha-worland"]here[/url] and if you can, please donate whatever you can to help get Kyle walking. Thank you. Warren.

Thank you very much one and all. I'm off to add some proper pictures to my thread

I still can't get it to work with PB, but that photo I've just posted (of the rear of the amp) I copied the Imgur code straight into the comments box with the lightswitch flicked to code, then flicked it back and the photo appeared, even before I posted it. Doesn't appear to work the other way around though!

Holy batcrap!

Referee! OK. I'm going to look into the plug-in issue - I may be some time!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1456772668' post='2992152'] Hope you don't mind - I had a bit of a nosey with your link & it does direct to the pic, but for Pbucket it's a big pic - nearly 2MB? Might be something to do with it, though I'm no expert. [/quote] No bother at all. Just a snap I took on my iPhone of the amp I have for sale. I presume with that link information you cannot post that pic either?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1456772341' post='2992147'] That's because your new Mac doesn't have Flash installed. There's a little .swf (Flash) element on the page that automatically copies the contents of the link field that you click on, into the clipboard of your computer. IIRC without Flash installed you can't even select the link let alone copy it. I always copy my links from the thumbnail view in the album, which doesn't rely on having Flash but you do have to manually copy the code (either using command-c or from the edit menu). I don't worry about the link giving away my album, because I have a separate Photobucket account just for use with Basschat. [/quote] Just trying this. I have all the thumbnails in the album on screen. Which bit do I copy?

" class="ipsImage" /> Nope. Doesn't like Imgur either.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1456770791' post='2992118'] I use Imgur (it's free...); here's what it looks like (the correct link for Basschat is in green...) ... Hope this helps... [/quote] Just tried Google Photo's which didn't work either. I feel I have nothing to lose in try your suggestion. Thank you.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1456771132' post='2992127'] It is strange - but you're not alone, I've seen someone on TGP with the same issue as you and paid subs were mentioned as an explanation. It might be that Photobucket just haven't got round to applying the settings to my account yet. I take it your Pbucket window looks like this one and the link you're using is the one circled? The "IMG" link that BRX mentions is the one below it. And, obviously that you're clicking the picture icon - in the BC post window? [/quote] Yes, exactly that and it will not work for me. Just doesn't copy the link form where it used to on my old PC (exactly where you have circled).

I'm really confused now Big Stu! I looked at what BRX said and the only link I can see that has an "i" before the number is the Direct link. The others have an "s".

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1456769323' post='2992079'] Ah! When I click DIRECT, it still says "Copied!" in the link box. I think you might just be the victim of the new rules that are being applied right now. Reportedly, PhotoBucket now wants you to pay before being allowed to link to your library from other sites. That possible? [/quote] In that case, any recommendations for alternative free quality photo hosting?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1456769200' post='2992076'] The copied bit doesn't work because it relies on having Flash installed and if you have a new Mac it won't be. The link you want is the IMG one. The format should look like this: [code][IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/Forum-Banner-2_zpszyj7v3et.gif[/IMG][/code] I can't help you with exactly where this is because I have customised my Photobucket preference to only show this and the HTML links. [/quote] Ah. This is beginning to make sense now. For some reason I can't play embedded video on BC as the Mac tells me I'm "missing a plug-in". This never usually bothers me as I can watch video content on my iPad without issue. I wonder if resolving the plug-in issue would sort out PB maybe?

Well, I did say they were going quickly

Thanks BT. I'm sure I used to use the Direct link and when I clicked on it, it used to say COPIED in the box. Doesn't do anything when I click on it now!

I know this has probably been brought up many times, but this is seriously doing my head in now. On my old PC I had no problem whatsoever embedding photo's from PB into BC threads. When my old PC went belly up last year, I started using my son's old lap top. Again, getting photo's onto PB was no problem, but for some reason I found I couldn't embed them on BC. I just put that down to ghosts in that particular machine and resolved that once I replaced my computer I would be up and running again. I now have a brand new Mac. Again getting photo's onto PB is a doddle, even easier than before in fact, but do you think I can get them onto BC. I know how it should work, but it just doesn't and I'm beginning to lose the plot with it. FWIW, I always used to view the photo, click the DIRECT link and drop that onto BC. Always worked before, but not now. Any and all help would be appreciated.
