Posting Images

 

Right i seem to have forgotten how to get images to show.
Using the insert an image doesn't work , neither does <image tag blah> which is what i have used before apparently.
Any pointers?

Hey mate,
Sorry not to reply earlier.  I sometimes don't get this far down on the list of topics.

For me this incarnation of Tom's is the easiest to post photos on.  I use the Insert an image icon.  I click on that paste into the URL and then hit insert.  Quick and easy.  Now if that doesn't work for your machine, I got nothin'.

Except for my old Apple, I sometimes would have to type out [i m g] and then [/i m g] (with no spaces between the img).  Hope that helps.

Hey cheers VK, if i do the insert i get this:

This should be easy...you're using the wrong link choice of options for Photobucket. Go to the Select Links. Click the IMG option (it's the bottom of the four listed), the bar should turn yellow, which mean you've copied. Come back to your post, put the cursor where you want the image & enter Ctrl V. I hope that made sense to you.   

This occasionally happens to me if the photo I was pasting is not hosted anywhere, but you use photobucket or something right? What browser are you using?

Have you tried just typing [img] in front of the URL?

Nice one Al, thanks for the help both of you, i can get on with the next report now

LOOKIN' GOOD! Glad to be of some help...now we get to see all your COOL STUFF!   

Actually you should use the second link in photobucket, that is unless you want your pictures to be links to your photobucket library.

If I choose the second link, does this mean, that rest of my photo bucket is private?  When I click pics people have posted here, I am able to see their whole profile. I just want to make just specific pics public.
