How to post big photos

bgrafsr · #1 09-23-2009, 12:02 PM

I have no problem posting thumbnail size photos, but how do I get the bigger photos in my post? I have a Photobucket account and tried doing it from there, but to no avail. Thanks.

Put this in front of the URL [IMG] and this at the end [/IMG]

But it only works with this gun...

Well, it didn't work for me. I already had the [IMG] in front of and behind the URL, and I get an invalid URL message when I try to post it.

No need to type anything. Just click on the IMG code in PB and click copy. Then go to the thread and click paste. You will see a long string of letterers/numbers but when you preview or post the pic will show up.

Can you post the URL here so I can test it?

I stole her Danish put it in my PB and then ate it!

Not much left.

Ok, If your using photobucket you may need to change the default size of the photo your uploading.

Log into photobucket:
Just below the "upload images and videos clicky" you will see a "more options here clicky" click there and change your default size, I like 800X800.

Part of the "options clicky" might be covered by a sign about click here, it's there, look close.

I hope this helps.

All this time I used PB, never knew that was there!
Thanks from me also.

It should look like this when you are there:

HTML Code:

[IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1601/1799754/18008472/373823970.jpg[/IMG]

The easiest way to do this is using the 'Insert Image' icon (mountains with dark sun next to the pop-up box). Paste the URL copied from Photobucket into the pop-up. The [IMG] tags will be added automatically.
