Inserting pics into the post.

Post by glennpert »

Can someone help me understand how to insert the pic in the post with the image button. It says include the URL within the [IMG] brackets, but I must be doing something wrong.

I don't think Facebook allows pictures to be hotlinked.... try this, right click on the link below, then hit "Copy Link Location" and put the img stamp on the link...http://i114.photobucket.com/al...4.jpg

I actually created a photobucket account and tried inserting the image through that site, but that doesn't work for me either. This is the link:http://s879.photobucket.com/albums/ab35 ... kedout.jpg

Here you go, you have to actually do the "view image" rather than trying to use the html they give you.

use the Share this Image box options on the left on PB - click on either the Direct Link (http:) tag (insert HTTP code between [IMG] tags on GV) or IMG and do a direct paste.
