Darn! What am I doing wrong?

Condorfan I do not think you can paste images into a message you need to add an attachment which you can find under the box where you write a message. (Above the post reply/ preview/ reset buttons.

This is a test--still doesn't work I give up.

Upload the image to Photobucket and then use the bottom link they give you. Paste that into your message.

Like TJ said...I always copy and paste the IMG link from Photobucket...works for me every time...

And I've found, when attaching an image, that you have to wait a few minutes, after attaching, before posting your message, or the image doesn't attach and you have to redo it. I went with photobucket too, as it's simpler and actually faster.

unless you are not sure about opening multiple accounts all around the place.... that has been my concern for "safety on the internet" matters

As the others have mentioned you cannot copy and image like you would in a Word document or such. You need to upload the file via the attachments option when you press the main reply option (not the quick reply at the bottom). A few users here also use the link from site option with photobucket though I am not sure why, you could load it up to the gallery here and use the links that it provides if you really need to.

Interesting, I didn't know that!

I didn't know that either.

That's my worry as well. If I get another spam about sex I'll scream! I have tried using the attachment and waited until done but still no luck. I may try the gallery to see if that works. Thanks to all for the advice! p.s. tried to upload image to the gallery but file is too large (2.30 MB)

If I recall Condorfan that is why it is not attaching as well. I think you can only have a 500kb attachment. Although I could be wrong about that. And just to let you know Condorfan I have finally open a photobucket account and I have not had any problems from them. I was not so much worried about spam but how to set up accounts without having my personal name thrown around on the internet. As a teacher I do not want parents or students to find out what I am posting. I have not done anything smutty, but I am still sensitive enough that I do not want to have people pointing at me because of the "silly" stories I write.

I've opened an account at Photobucket but STILL can't post an image. I could really use some help.

Hi all! It's very easy. Here it is: All you need to do is cut and paste the IMG code that appear in the "Share This Image" section of the page. Since that's what I did here, it obviously works. James

Oh I love this pic ....

This is one of my favourite birthday images of the team. I love looking at it on my B-day and imagining they are celebrating with me.

I always go with the attaching the image even though it sometimes doesn't work and I have to do it again at least couple of times. It's a pain in the arse I know but I did go with photobucket once but for some unkown reason it wouldn't let me in, so I gave up on it.

Thanks James for posting that pic. I tried using IMG but that didn't work. I used the edit attachments and that didn't work. Where is the "Share this Image" of the page you were talking about? I'm totally clueless on how you were able to bring that image up.

condorfan - in photobucket when I run my cursor over the image I want to share a box pops up with 4 different options. I go down to the last option *IMG Code* and click on it. This copies the link which I can then paste. Then I can post this image of Ken .... To find the Share this image button James mentions I can see it above the image where you can see it as one of the buttons. I hope this helps, I am still new at this stuff. So I probably do not know all the short cuts.

That is one if not the best birthday pic of the group. Never gets old looking at it. CD, I like your addition to the thread too!

GG. That is Ken getting ready to get into the hot tub.

Oh mrooowwwrrrr ... You just send that Eagle over here in my direction ... :grin: He can slip into my ... err .. hot tub any day!

As long as you have him back, fit and raring to go, next week for me, SJ.

Thanks CD for the help. I will see if try it and see if it works. That pic of Ken is very hot...

Dear CondorFan It's Saturn over here, I am at Ninurta's house and because I am in big hurry and don't have to time to let her sign out and use my own username, I'm just using her account directly because I want to help you with your problem. I put two pictures below to provide a step by step visual explanations to you on how to use Photobucket to attach images in a board like Gatchamania. If you have done all the above steps and still having problems, just let me know and I will try my best to help you, and CD, your HOT pic of Ken really gives the true meaning of a Hot Tub, . Eventhough it is raging hot like hell here at my place, I won't mind a dip into a Hot Tub with this Eagle.

Err ... I will do my best, Sweetie. Can't say I'll release him from his cuffs and chains within that time frame ... Oh ... I mean the bubbles and warmth of the hot tub ... silly me Hides the cat'o'nine tails whip behind her back and whistles But, I'll see what I can do to accommodate ya. Just to check -- this is Mark, right? Cause if it's Ken, he's alllllllllllll yours SJ

Saturn, those were awesome explanations! And I love the demo pics!!!!

Oooo.. I like the birthday pic... and of course I like a hot eagle heh heh heh...

Saturn thank you so much for the explanations and to quote TJ, they were awesome. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. I'm so clueless about technology!
