cclowend Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 How do I post a picture using photobucket? When I try to post a picture I only get a url link copy option and that's proper boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) [quote name='cclowend' timestamp='1401735163' post='2466371'] How do I post a picture using photobucket? When I try to post a picture I only get a url link copy option and that's proper boring. [/quote] In Photobucket select the pic you want and copy the 'Direct' link. Then click the little green 'image' square (to the right of the 'link' icon in the Basschat post editor), paste the direct link in the box provided, et... violin!

cclowend Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 This is painful. If I use my laptop the icon in this box blinks weirdly and it takes half an hour to write a scentence and then the blue box for the link wont bugger off! I give up!

Zenitram Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Right click on an image. Click on "View image". A new window or tab should open. Copy the resulting URL. Then do as I said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 With Photobucket click on the image, left click "IMG" - it will say "copied" then post the code in the "Reply to topic" box here...easy - even I can do it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I tend to put photos I want to share in the Public area of my Dropbox folder - if I put them in the Photo part, the links ask people for a password! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However by looking at the source code for the site I was able to get the URL of the image, so entering: [code][/code] should get you this: Edited June 18, 2014 by BigRedX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Dropbox links not work like they would if I pasted the link into the 'post image' function (which is not available on my phone/ipad)?

BigRedX Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's a question of using the right tools for the job. Dropbox is fine for sharing files with a limited number of people who are most likely going to view them on their computer or mobile device, but if you want to add images to your forum posts you need an image host, and ideally one that automatically that provides IMG tags.
