Hi I have been trying to download some pictures, but having problems, I have checked other threads on the subject and tried various methods without success, I will go through the method I am using and perhaps someone can put me right. first I go into my thread, write a few words, and then go into my photobucket, pick the photo I want to add to my text,press get link codes, press IMG, press copy, bring up Y O C press image icon, insert URL press paste, press ok, and nothing?

Alright mate.You're almost there. When you click on get links, copy the 'Direct' code and put that in the image box

ta daaa

sorry jimmy, tried that, as someone said it on one of the threads, have just had another go but no luck, everything goes fine, until I press ok, the URL goes into the image box, no problem, but when I press the ok button, nothing happens, it just sits there.and does not show the picture.

OK" copy the img .. then just paste straight on to your post,,,

No still wont have it,

when you get back to your post, dont press image icon, just paste the tag you copied straight to your post

no joy

you have to enter it like text into the box as though you are writing it.

like this

{img}photobucket etcetc{/img}

the IMG tags are wrong other wise the server will try to show a picture.

I just copy and paste the BBCODE link - Photobucket and Flickr both have this option. Just copy and paste right into the reply box, no need to add anything else.

Thank you feliks, its easy when you know how.

No prob!
