help please with photobucket

[Gonna Shoot a Wabbit]

Hi all.

 

I understand after reading cranfields pinned post that there is still a problem with disappearing photo's downloaded from a home p.c.

 

So have opened a photobucket account but can't seem to make the damn thing work i can get the photo's onto photobucket but cant get 'em onto p/w (what the chuffin' heck is a URL when its at home??) So if anyone would be kind enough to post an idiots guide to getting photos from photobucket onto p/w i would be very grateful.

A URL is sort of a internet address, with this you can copy and paste direct links to web pages, I should amagin you copy and paste the link from photobucket onto here, that is just a guess as I dont have a photo bucket account myself

 

hope this helps

In Photobucket, under your pictures there should be 4 lines and boxes of text.

 

Share URL

URL Link

HTML Tag

IMG Code

 

You want the second one the URL Link. What you do is put your mouse pointer over the box of text to the right of URL Link and Left click. You should get a message on the bottom left of Internet Explorer saying "Copied text to clipboard".

 

In Pigeon Watch start your new topic, or post, and when you are ready to put in your photo use the "Insert Image" button. This button is located above the text box that you type your message into and below the Fonts drop down menu (looks like a tiny pic of a green valley with the sun in it), again if you're unsure just hover you mouse pointer over the buttons above the text box and it'll tell you what each button is.

 

So, when you press the "Insert Image" button a box should pop up saying "Please inter the URL for this image". Delete the "http://" that already in the box and right click on the box afterwards and select paste. That'll paste the URL Link into the box that you earlier copied to your clipboard from Photobucket.

 

Select OK and that should be that.

 

Let us know if that works for you, if not ya know where to ask

All i do is click on the IMG line and it automatically copies your photo...then right click on your post/reply on PW and click on paste.Photo is then loaded onto your post resized as well...couldn,t be easier or i wouldn,t manage
