Quick tips on posting images in this forum.

I'm sorry, Kinda slow when it comes to things like this, I could build a nuclear reactor with wood and metal without plans, but computers will be the death of me. Old school....

It's actually a pretty simple concept once you get it. The file has to be stored on a PC that everybody can get to (aka a Web Server). The upload feature in a post uploads it alright..but it uploads it without showing it. You have to put the file somewhere like an image gallery..then figure out the web address (URL) and use a special format in here to tell my browser to go get it.

I can't stress the simplicity of photobucket. They lay it all out for you....simple upload procedure..and then they even give you the special format so you can copy and paste it into a post and make it appear. I hope people donate to this guy..there's not too many places out there that are free like that. I even moved my gallery there because it was so easy to use and maintain.

Good luck...you'll get it...then you'll smack yourself because of how easy it is. Much easier than building a BWR with wood and metal. :)

You're getting close that "img58.photobucket.com/album/albums/v178/baja272/4.jpeg" is almost a URL, you just need an "http://" in front of it and then put it in between tags not a URL link. You can do it one of 2 ways...1) copy the "URL" field from photobucket, press the IMG button in RC's reply post screen and paste the photobucket URL into the prompt....OR....2) copy the "IMG" field from photo bucket and paste it right into the message portion of the RC reply screen. Both will do the SAME THING! The second method just allows you to better control where it gets pasted..the IMG button always adds to the bottom.

But there is also ONE more problem..you password protected your gallery so it won't work on here. Remove the password protection and this:

[img]http://img58.photobucket.com/album/albums/v178/baja272/4.jpeg

..should start to work. Removing the password protection doesn't allow others to modify your account..it's just a password protection for VIEWING your photos. Modifying your account would require a login whether that password protection is on or not. The password protection would be if you have family/personal photos up there that you don't want everybody to see, and you just want to tell a few folks the password. It's not for image sharing in forums.

Hope this helped...you're close!!!
