photos posting from Photobucket

14 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.

Barbra, I see PB has changed somewhat from the last time I used it. Use two windows, one with GW and the other with PB. I went to "All Albums" then I clicked on the album I wanted to select photos from. This will then display your photos that when you run your mouse over the picture, just below it will give you choices of codes. E.g., click and copy "HTML Code" and paste the code here in the GW Message box. I like selecting various pictures by clicking on the small box just below and to the left of each picture, then go down to the bottom of the page where it says "Generate HTML and IMG code". Click on that and it will take you to another page with different codes. I usually select the first one "HTML clickable thumbnails for Ebay, Livejournal, MySpace, etc. - recommended" and paste here in GW. I like to delete the bracketed word "center" both in the beginning and end of the code to flush my pictures to the left, like this: Or, delete the space right after the bracketed "/a" to have the pictures run like this: Hope this helps, if not just ask.

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?

Thanks, Kentuck. When I went back into Photobucket today to do as you suggested, the "save picture as" and "save target as" are working again.

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.
