Problem linking pictures

GySgtFrank · 03-27-2012, 04:23 PM

I've tried all kinds of ways to do this, but I just can't get the hang of it. No one else seems to have a problem so it must be me. I'm trying to get my pictures to show up full size on a post. I've put them on both Photobucket (which has had it's own problems) and Flicker (no problems). I copy the address given and paste it into the URL box under the manage attachments option. I keep getting an invalid file message. The picture seems to be within the size parameters stated. I'm stumped. HELP!

have you tried the [IMG] tag?

[IMG ]<url to picture>[/ IMG]

remove the spaces of course....

Tanks for answering.Yes, djmtsu suggested this, I tried it and still got an invalid image message. I tried both copying the link with it in there and putting the IMG markers in myself. No Joy.

Eureka! The bonehead finally got it. I had to post the BBC code between the IMG markers and it worked. Thanks for all the help and patience.

Thanks for getting back to me on this Kevin. I read the board and the recommendations. I could see what it said, but it wasn't connecting with my brain. When I tried it, needed BBC code, I was using the wrong code and getting the same error message. That made it really hard to figure out what I was doing wrong. I just kept trying it over and over in different ways until it worked. Then it seemed glaringly obvious what everyone had been trying to tell me. Thanks again.
