Add photo using Photobucket????

[John Carter]

It's been quite awhile since I have added a photo using Photobucket and the site has changed considerably. I am totally lost. Looked in the archives but found nothing I could use. Any suggestion from the pros that submit out of this world photos. I would like to know how even if I can't come close.

John,

I hope my example is what you're asking for:

I've always logged into my Photobucket acct, selected the photo I wanted, then scrolled to the right of the photo and it shows 4 different methods to "Share Links." I always left click on the the "Email & IM" link, then come to this location, right click and paste the link. (photo of me flipping mixture of eggs and crickets during early Spring snowstorm.)

I'm trying another method immediately following, where I click instead on the "IMG"link then right click and paste here to see if the image shows up without having to click on the first method....and it worked!

Thanks for the info. giving a shot. It is an odd goldfinch that has been at our feeder all winter along with a pine warbler and a Baltimore oriole who just disappeared the first of March, hope a hawk did not get him.

Hope you got rid of the snow.

Did not work, will try again.

Still no luck may need more explicit instructions.

[Jeff Robinson]

John,

Your link worked fine for me - beautiful white goldfinch except for the wing prints.

[Dave Reynolds]

John ,,,, It worked on my end,,,, I could see the pic when I clicked on the Web site you provided

Dave, your picture came thru as well. I guided one of my 2014 mentees through that same process. He purchased the house and pole before finding me, then he revamped it and had it up last year.

John, when I post pics like Jeff did I open this reply field. At the top click the Img tab then paste the link and hit Img again. I don't put any spaces in all of that. Try the preview button see if it works.

Jeff & Deb
Thanks for the help, I have tried several way to present pictures through Photobucket and have been able to view the pictures so half the battle is won.

I would really like to view photos as part of the post and not go to Photobucket to view them. Quite a few folks present them this way and it is really neat. Jeff's post was a fine example.

The photos I have posted are not very good, they were taken through insulated glass windows and at a distance of 40 feet with an old digital camera. It was below zero and these old bones balked at going outside.

John, I added some screenshots of how to do it here:

[John Carter]

Kathy, hope this one works. I guess that the picture does not show in the preview, just the URL.

Kathy, I think I followed your instructions but the picture does not show up in the post until you click on the URL.

John, try this.
1. Make a new post.
2. Click, "Img" (it will show, [Img] in the text area)
3. paste the link
4. Click "Img" again (it will show, [/Img] in the text area)

submit the post...see if that works, make sure there are no spaces after the Img links and the link is right after the bracket on the first "[Img]" bracket like this:
YES---"[Img]http......."

NOT like this:
"[Img]
http...."

[John Carter]

Sorry to be such a pain but will try again and enter my steps,
Restart the puter
Log on to Photobucket
Click on library
Select picture
Click on DIRECT window - copied
Log on to PMCA
Click on forum
Enter forum
Click on post
Click on reply
Click Img - control v for paste - click img again ---- your example showed YES---"[Img}http......." Should the picture show on preview?

Well it can be done!!!!
The only thing I did different was to insert the image first and then added the text. What ever works. Thanks for all you help for this old dude. I know where to go for puter info....

[KathyF]

John - CONGRATULATIONS! I knew you would keep trying til you got it!
Very nice shot of your Baltimore oriole. You have a wonderful bird feeding area too - nice scenery.
YAY!
