Thanks,crun.Odd thing is, when I just tried it I too got page not found, but a friend of mine used it and phoned to say he'd got the piccie. Wierd, I shall persevere. Cheers O Xenos

oxenos,

That is probably because you are copying the direct link URL from the thumbnail in your Photobucket album.

Double click your thumbnail and it will come up as a full-size image. Copy the direct link URL from there and the image should now appear full-size when you post it.

LM :ok:

Oxenos

use this:

http://

(/img)

but with square brackets and all on one line

Re- Sizing Pictures
 

Download Irfanview free, it does resizing, scratch removal, background colour changes and a host of other things. Probably not as good as Photoshop but very adequate for individual simple pic corrections.

See IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

The secrets of image posting appears to only ever be releaved by PM


Test:
I have a choice of URL to use on my 'photo dump'
They are:

Dumpt - Image Host

Dumpt - Image Host

[img=http://www.dumpt.com/img/files/9m8lguhgcjofrepfy59e_thumb.png]

http://www.dumpt.com/img/files/9m8lg...y59e_thumb.png

and

<a href="http://www.dumpt.com/img/viewer.php?file=9m8lguhgcjofrepfy59e.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.dumpt.com/img/files/9m8lguhgcjofrepfy59e_thumb.png" border="0" alt="Dumpt.com"/></a>


I don't think I can get any of these to work with the 'Insert Image' icon at the top of the reply editor.

What obvious mistake am I making?
.png?

how can it be that hard?

it worked by not using the "Insert Image" icon

Tinypic does provide six different resizings and a default, of wich the one aimed for 'message boards' are 640x480!
The resizing is to be chosen as the first after the picture have been picked!
