Another image posting question

[Andrew Alexander]

Sorry for being a little slow but I had trouble posting images in the "For Sale Forum" and need some assistance. I am using PhotoBucket as my image repository and was not successful embedding either the URL code nor the IMG code to display my image. Also just tried copying the IMG code directly into the message and that did not work either. Any suggestions?

When you are posting a message, you will see some jazz along the top of the window you type in that lets you change font style, size, add smileys, bold, italics, etc.  Anywho one of those icons is a little yellow box with a mountain and some little square like a postage stamp.  If you scroll over it, it says "insert image".

If you click on that, you can enter a URL for the image.  So if you have a URL from photobucket that you can link to the photo directly, you could just paste that and it should put it into the message.  I guess it just adds an IMG tag, but I don't know all that HTML mumbo jumbo.

Thanks Joseph...that worked perfectly

Even faster, Andrew, is to take advantage of features in Photobucket for creating those links for you as a copy/paste operation. While you are logged into your account, navigate to the image you want to include.  Set up a tab for Nelsonfoto where you are working on your message, and open a separate tab opened to your Photobucket account.

To include the image directly:
Click on the "IMG Code" box below the picture and copy the selected text, then tab back and paste it into your Nelsonfoto message window.

To include a thumbnail linked to a larger image (kind for modem users):
Click on the square box under the image, to the left of its name. Now, down at the bottom of the album page, click on the "Generate HTML and IMG code" tab.  I use the third option down--just click in the area, and the sample code will be highlighted. Use your usual copy operation (I use Ctrl-C), then tab back and paste the code into your Nelsonfoto message window.
