Fireman049 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I've forgotten how to use Photobucket! If I've got multiple photo's in an album, how do I send only one? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just select the one you wish to send, then on the right of the screen there should be a list of links to choose from. Just click on which ever is the correct option , (for photos in your signarure for instance it is the image URL) that will copy think onto your clipboard, then in you message, (or signature box) past it in.

Fireman049 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 How do I attach photo's from Photobucket to the Forum??? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 first COPY the URL (that is the path) of the picture in Photobucket from the line "Direct". Then from this forum message editor click the icon "image" and PASTE the URL in the field, then click OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlejim Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Once you see the piccie is loaded into photobucket click on 'Zoom' - the enlarged piccie appears with a 'box' alongside that says "links to share this photo" if you click on the box alongside "IMG" a brief message saying "copied" appears. You can now 'paste' this into the TR forum 'new' or 'reply' box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I can get photobucket to work on my eMails but not on the Forum ~ what's going wrong??? I followed LJ's advice and got the message "copied" but when I go into the Forum and press 'paste' nothing happens?? Tom.

Fireman049 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Geko ~ Pressing 'OK' or anything else has no effect whatsoever? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Hi Geko ~ Pressing 'OK' or anything else has no effect whatsoever? Tom. Can you see the URL of your pic in the field of the box after pasting it ? No: go back to photobucket, copy the URL of the pic from the field "Direct", return the forum message editor, click on the image icon, paste de URL in the blank field, then click OK agai Yes: - Do you have a "firewall" or a popup/ad blocker installed on your computer ? Yes: disable them and try again No: next line - If you are using Firefox web browser you might encounter problem with pre-installed security settings, try another web browser like Windows explorer or Safari (Mac) OR lower your security level in the menu Firefox > Preferences (uncheck all boxes temporarily) Edited February 10, 2014 by Geko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Tom, I've pasted *hundreds* of links to photos in all kinds of forums -- many, many dozens of photos on this one. The process will work -- we just gotta figure out exactly what's hanging you up. Here's an image at random (the head badge of TS1251LO). 1. Copy link to image from hosting service. I use SmugMug as my online hosting service. A paid account for $35/year, but I love it -- easy user interface, good organizing options, unlimited full size storage. In plain text, the link looks like this : http ://4xdog.smugmug.com/TR3/TR3-References/TS1251LO-2012-11/i-thg9p3n/0/L/IMG_3913-L.jpg (Note the space after http isn't correct -- I had to add that to keep the forum software from converting it into an active link, despite telling it to "unlink" the text...) 2, Click on "image" icon in forum toolbar. Dialog opens. 3. Paste link in dialog. Click OK. Dialog disappears and image shows in reply being written. That's all there is to it -- at least on my PC running Win XP or Win7 and Chrome. It's a little harder on my iPad, but can still be done. Here's the result: What PC operating system and what browser are you using? Did you see the "OK" on the image dialog, and it wouldn't click, or did you not even see the OK? This has gotta be simple when we figure it out. Edited February 10, 2014 by Don H.

Fireman049 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Geko and Don ~ Thank you both for that. I've just had my PC serviced and it's possible that something needs attention. I'll contact my PC guru. Incidentally, before the service I was able to send any amount of pics. to the Forum but I never got the box from 'image' before. As I recall, all I had to do was click and paste the link to my message? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 If you just want to add a photo to a forum post, or a reply, you can do that direct from your PC, & not upload to photobucket first. In your post click on "More post/reply options" then click on Choose files, select which file on your PC you want to include, a thumbnail will then appear just above where it says "Attach Files", Position your cursor (using returns, & / or spaces to where you want the photo to appear, then click on "Add to post" I will do that now: You can then preview the post to make sure it is in the right place, which it was !

Fireman049 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thank you Geko and Bob ~ Bob, I know that I can attach a file to my Forum articles as I tried it a couple of days ago. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevo_6 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi Tom If your Browser is IE 11 for some reason it does not allow you to paste anything. Try Google Chrome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Tom, if you pm me one of your links, I'll try to post it from my account. Let's confirm your Photobucket links are working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 ...If your Browser is IE 11 for some reason it does not allow you to paste anything. Try Google Chrome. Good point, Kevo. I use Chrome exclusively. Here's a recent discussion on the subject, with a lot of details: http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/44524-dumped-ie11-so-can-now-post-links-etc/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Here's a link to one of Tom's photo's from his Photobucket account. All good. Easy as pie to copy the link and paste in the image dialog, OK it, and see it. Copied as a "direct" link from the Photobucket page. If that doesn't work for you, Tom -- blame the browser or browser settings, and consider trying Chrome. Edited February 10, 2014 by Don H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
