Talking Trying to attach pics

I am trying to post some pics and nothing works. Any help? I have a Photobucket account and tried to copy and paste the URL in the space on the "Manage Attachments" window with no success. I have also tried to copy and paste the picture file from my files to the "Upload File from your Computer" space on the "Manage Attachments" window. Again no luck. What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to change??

Thanks in advance.

Copy the IMG Thumb URL in Photobucket and paste Here
Click on the image and the thumb will expand to full size.

That kinda works, but only the URL shows up and then you are sent to the website. How do I show a picture as in your example?

No, you copy the IMG code from Photobucket.

And paste it, anywhere you want in the text, using a new line.

Open your Photobucket album
click on an image.
The image will look something like photo 1.
In the blue bar click on share the window will open up like image 2
Click on the tab GET IMAGE CODE
The third window will open, check all 6 selections,
Click SAVE, All the image codes will be attached to each image in the album as in image 1,
to add an image to a post, copy the code in the bottom window, Image Thum.
Paste the code in the post. This will add a thumbnail that when clicked on will expand to a full size image.
Adding photos to a post using this method does not limit to 5 photos as using
Manage Attachments.

Much easier way is just right click on the image you want to post,
LEFT click on - copy image URL from that drop down menu.

Now to post the image without the thumb nail bs,
Type this code,
[img] [/img]
Now just right click you're mouse and SELECT - paste.
http://images.craigslist.org/3Ga3Fa3...21d9cc19ff.jpg
and the code [img] [/img]
[img] goes at the front, and [/img] at the end with no spaces.
Practice will get fast results.
like this.

Thanks guys, it worked! I found a menu on the right side of the page titled "Image Links" and opened it. It had the IMG link available.

Now I feel smarter....

Pictures are perfect size also PPF.

They are sized just right not to overload the screen so one has to scroll back and forth, but have all the detail needed.
