fenboy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) After reading posts on a regular basis on how to post pictures, I thought I would put up a easy step by step guide . I use photobucket so have based it on that , you can open a photobucket account free at www.photobucket.com. Its very handy to back up you photos on there as you will not lose them if you computer dies etc ! Photobucket will also resize photos automatically so they are the correct size for the forum , so no more annoying "file too large" messages. I hope you find it useful. Once you have pasted your code into your thread it will appear as a picture once you have submitted it.

marsh man Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hi Fenboy I am having this trouble also. When I tried this the other day it worked brilliantly but I have now gone back to do some more and it doesn't work. I have just tried ctrl+v and that doesn't work either. I have tried to import a fresh pic in to photobucket today to see if that maked a difference but again no joy. Any help would be appreciated Marshman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Not sure why you are having a problem . Occasionally I have had to go back to the photobucket home page after downloading a photo rather than going straight to the library or recent download tabs. Try going back to the home page then select library and then try selecting the picture you want , other than that I have no idea Sorry.

malkiserow Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good support FenB The odd thing is..... you could previously go to the bottom right of the write/edit post box and click on "more reply options" and browse your computer images to add a file straight in if small enough. This option now seems to have been closed off in the last few weeks..... shame, has the site system changed this function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea , the great thing about using PB was the fact that there is no need to faff about resizing pics as it does them automatically .

fenboy Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 When you click on the image link does the box turn yellow and say copied ? If not try going to the home page , then library and try selecting it again. Other than that I have no idea . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 It has changed slightly on PB but it is essentially the same . When I have time later in the week I will try and update the slides that have changed , in the meantime it is simple enough to work out. Glad people are finding it useful.

dafydd1983 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Is it possible to post pictures using an iPad? Iv uploaded to photo bucket but no option to then post on the page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Is it possible to post pictures using an iPad? Iv uploaded to photo bucket but no option to then post on the page? I would think you should be able to , if you move the cursor over the top left of the photo and click on the icon it should drop down and give you a option to share links click on that it should copy then paste into the topic box on here.

That function is still there in certain forums but not others, it will work in this one for instance but not Off Topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
