photos posting from Photobucket

12 years ago

I am exasperated trying to find any intelligible directions for posting photos here. I have a lot of pics at photobucket, but the steps to post a photo are nowhere to be found in this forum.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi boizeau,

I'll attempt to try and help you.

1...Go to the album that contains the pic you are wanting to post.
2...if you see codes below the pic and one of them is HTML code, LEFT click on the code, and it will very briefly flash copied.
2a...If you don't see any codes beneath the picture, then hover cursor over the pic and the code will appear, and then you hover cursor over HTML Code and LEFT click. You should then see 'copied' flash briefly in yellow in the box.
3...come back to your message box here, and RIGHT click and then choose PASTE
4...once you are finished with your message and copying the code for all pics, hit Preview Message
5...Once the Preview page comes up, you should see your pic as it will appear in your message. If all is well, continue and hit submit.

If the picture doesn't show up on Preview, then something is wrong...and back to the drawing board.

Normally it is best to post testing posts, or for help at The GW Test Forum. There are some very helpful forum 'regulars' there who will work with you until you have it mastered.

Well, the problem has been solved. It is now possible to upload pics from your computer. See the Browse link below under "Post a Follow-UP."

you have to go to the settings on the photo bucket page and click on the setting that says account options (its on the top of the page)then go down to where it says edit my album settings then click on the box where it says my album is: private will be in the box just click on the box and change to public. Then remember to save the changes and that should work.

If you want to post photos directly into your message you need to put some HTML tags around the links that Photobucket gives you. Copy the HTML code (as momof2 suggests) and add this to the beginning of the code: type this character put this next: (no space) url and then type the opposite character > at the end of the HTML code type this character put this next: /url type this last (no space): > the reason I have to spell it out for you is that when you do it correctly it disappears. Garden Web has a page just for people to practice posts like this. Or you can just keep doing "Preview" until it looks right. The photo should show up without having to click on a link once you get you code typed correctly. Good luck. Denise example of how the HTML code disappears and only the photograph shows up

Instructions for Posting Pics from Photobucket

I know this has been up for more than a year and I'm wondering if Photobucket has changed since then. I've noticed here and on other forums that this method of posting pics results in a huge photo that causes text to be stretched out across the page. Would it be possible to update these instructions? Photobucket now offers clickable thumbnails and those don't interfere with text positioning. There's also a resizing tool, but it appears to be a bit of a hassle. Could someone explain how to use that?

Katkin, it's really easy, honest. If you know how to upload pictures from your camera to your computer, it's just a matter of then uploading the same pictures from your computer to Photobucket. Once that's done, follow the instructions above, and you're good to go. That's a photo of Tausendchon, btw...wish it were MINE, but mine isn't that big...YET. I have high hopes for some nice blooms from it next spring. It tried to bloom this year when it was only 1 stem. Now it is starting to spread a bit on my fence, so next year should be much better.

Sue, can you help me? I have been trying to post pictures for 2 days, from Photobucket. It started when the new thing above, "Image file to upload (optional):" appeared.

It shows the picture, but say's rejected for invalid link or something like that. I can post the image to "Optional Link URL:" and I name it. It shows up on the error page but will not let me post!

In the box "Image file to upload (optional):" It has a partial address of the pic I want to upload. I can't erase it, when I click it goes to my PC files.

Sue, can you help me?
See my reply the new thread you started. I made suggestions there. There are some fine folks at both The Test Forum and at Computer Help. I'm pretty sure it isn't really a GW issue and that they can help you.
