    Yeah sorry I am apparently an idiot, because I could not get the photos to work using the FAQ

      I had a hard time at first too....You go to photobucket and upload your pictures..then click on a picture and the IMG code will appear on the right hand side with a few other codes....click on it...it copies...Then paste into your post and change the big letters IMG to smaller case letters "img". Leave the rest of the code the same and then it posts your pictures. Hope your able to get it...I know it's frustrating.

      Thank you so much for your help, but for some reason I still can't get it to work. It has a little icon come up that says "sorry this image has been moved or deleted" (from photobucket) which of course is not true...grrr. I was hoping with MFP's new changes they might have added an option to upload photos directly to posts...no such luck I guess.

      But thank you very much!

      Something is wrong with the address you posted because when I try to go it, it comes up with nothing....

      Where it says [ url ] [/ url] switch it to img] (but no spaces).

      Try other pictures, if they work, you know it's that picture, I'd say.

      Looking at the link people tried to help you with above, it seems like your link is incomplete or just doesn't work. Check that the link you're putting between the img tags works when pasted in your browser address bar.

      TinyPic is the way to go! Go to tinypic.com

      1. on first page, upload your image - resize to message board size (I always scale mine 1st, so I've never had to resize)
      2. type in 'secret code' they give you
      3.after it uploads, highight n copy (cut n paste) the url for 'message boards' (2nd option)
      4. Come back here to your post and paste it in
      5. THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!! Last step: change the to lowercase letters in the brackets at the beginning and end of pasted link. That's it - super easy!!!

      Ok, that's kinda big. Glad it wasn't a selfie. LOL.

      So, what size do you normally scale to prior to uploading???????
    • Posts: 394 Member
      I usually use the website/email, I find it to be just the right size :smile:
