PhotoBucket for Dummies Thread

[PapawBrett]

Yes, I actually started this thread I have seen some full sized beautiful pictures of some incredible setups here on the ECF.

But whenever I upload a picture from my Smart(er than me) Phone or my laptop, it's just a puny little thing.

SO, if I go to PhotoBucket and 'FREE' sign up..... then what ? Please remember, I'm just an old trucker, not really all that techno-savvy. But with y'all helping, I might just somehow figure this out

Click on upload images to your library, once that's done select the image you want to show on the forum and click the URL link called DIRECT LINK to copy it. Then here on the forums when you select the image insert tab, choose from URL and paste the copied photo bucket link into the text box. And this is the most important part uncheck Retrieve remote file and refrence locally. Viola big beautiful image.

I have the same problem, Brett. I'd be truly interested to hear from someone smarter than me how to do those beautiful, full-sized pics.

First, respect for you being a trucker. It's something I always wanted to do, but I'm an idiot with backing trailers up

Second, not sure what it's like on a phone. On a computer on their site, you can copy the IMG code then paste it on to your post here

 

[ReigntheGamer]

On a tablet you can bring up the image you want to use and touch/and hold it and select copy image url. Then put that in the image from URL tab here and uncheck the retrieve remote file and refrence locally and it will do the same.

With pictures uploaded to Photobucket. Click on the picture you want to post, then click on "direct link" (that's the "copy" portion of copy & paste)
Then type

....... and you're done.

 

[PapawBrett]

OK, I don't really know what 'cut and paste' are, I usually do 'ink and pen' to get web address and add manually here.

Moved to Site Feedback and Help.

Read this thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/site-feedback-help/429201-photobucket-ecf-ipad-safari.html

I think you'll find the answer to your question there.

 

[dbrandt01]

The IMG doesn't work with direct links which is what I think you use. I put a space in the following below, but that's the IMG code that I can copy and paste from the picture you were trying to post.



Okay, so apparently I can't put spaces in to show you what it looks like, it keeps posting regardless

 

[PapawBrett]

Try this again ...

Imgur may be easier to use as it doesn't do weird things with the URLs.

For example:

This: [img]http://i.imgur.com/efnFOpv.jpg[/img]

Turns into this:

 

[PapawBrett]

I think I've got it working ,for now. (no Idea how, just working !)

 

[Robino1]

Hey Papaw!!

I use Imgur. It works great also and is free now.

I see you have mastered the photobucket somewhat. I had a hard time with photobucket but Imgur was a breeze.

 

[PapawBrett]

I don't know if I've 'mastered' anything, but it seems to be working. I just wanted to show off my woodies

 

[ElConquistador]

Nice woodies, and good looking pups!

I don't know if I've 'mastered' anything, but it seems to be working. I just wanted to show off my woodies

Bwahahaha!!!

 

[PapawBrett]

OK, I've been told that the pictures are now "too big", so let's try resizing using EDIT tool on PB..

cough...

So will photos uploaded to Imgur just stay there forever? I didn't set up an account or anything and I don't see much explanation on Imgur.
