Posting photos? HELP!

[Terry Jessee]

Okay, for some reason when I try to post a photo, it turns the fotki thing into a link so that the old HTML coding doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Terry

let it post the link, so it can find and display the photo

i always use photobucket. when you load a photo, resize it to the predetermined "large" size. then go to share, options, and link codes. use the one for forums. copy and paste it in your post.

For Fotki, click on the 'Share' button just above the image. This will bring up a box, and the first thing you will see is Image URL for use on other sites:. Left-click on the adress just below that, and it will turn orange and a 'copied' message will appear. Then come back to the MCM editor, and click on the image icon, just below the 'sizes' box. When you do that, another box will pop up. Then simply move the cursor into the text box and right-click to paste. Click OK, and the image will appear in the edit box.

or You can paste the img line using "control" V

All this Fotki right click/left click PC stuff I don't understand, being on Mac.

You don't have to resize anything that you upload onto Photobucket. The forum will do it for you automatically.

• Just upload your photo from your computer to your free Photobucket account.

• Once it's uploaded, just place your cursor on your uploaded image in the window and a series of fields will appear below, as you see here.

• Click on the bottom IMG Code line and it will will say Copied.

• After that, you just go to your post window and paste that link into it [hold down the command key and hit v on your keyboard]. At that point, you will just see the code letters, until you hit SAVE at the bottom of the post box. Then you're good to go.

Here is this forum's tutorial, which is actually a bit more complicated than it needs to be:

NEVER shrink an original....you can resize and save a copy...".Once shrunk....always junk" sorta fits this....
