Photos on pprune

[rogerg]

Help! I can post photos on prune via Photobucket and although they are the correct size pixelwise (say 800/600) the images are too small. I need to increase the size without changing the pixels. Any clues you experts?
Thanks

Try this. If the Photobucket url has a suffix 'tn' (thumbnail) somewhere in the address then delete it. Then 'Preview' your post before 'Submit Reply'.

Under the photo in your Photobucket album there's the option of 'direct link', left click on it then paste it in the image bit in PPrune.

Thanks for that, but it still only posts the code and not the actual picture.
Am I being thick?

Have you got two 'http' at the beginning? Delete one.

You are selecting the image icon in the reply window, it's the fourth from the right, and then pasting the url into it aren't you

GG, this is what I get, how can I post the actual picture that the above code brings up?

rogerg,

All I did was select the Icon



Then when the window opened, pasted the .url (your link) into it.

Note: Windows 7 required me to temporary allow a scripted window, but it was just a cut and paste after that. I'll leave this up until you try it.

My my my, y'all like doing things the hard way!

With each pic on photobucket there are 4 "addresses" below it.

Email & IM
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG CODE

Copy the whole text in the bottom one and paste it here. That bit does the same as clicking on the "picture" icon here and pasting the address for the pic in the box that pops up.

Except I no longer get offered that choice for some reason.

Now that is strange.

When you click on the pic to get it full size on photobucket you'll see these options are now at the top right of your screen

I only tend to select from the thumbnails, it used to be a nice simple to use site, but they screwed it up with so called enhancements.

[hellsbrink]

Well, that's the thing, I can get the 4 "links" from the thumbnails despite the "improvements".

Hmmm, starting to think about flashblockers, java issues, etc

[green granite]

If I use the bottom option which is labled IMG thumb I get this. ie the thumbnail instead of the full picture.

[hellsbrink]

That be strange, it only says "IMG Code" with me so I get

[green granite]

That's what it used to say for me but no longer does.
Are you a free user or do you pay? I'm free

[hellsbrink]

Well, Mr. Inman, I don't pay for photobucket so I have no idea why you have a different website to mine.

[rogerg]

Thanks for all your help guys. Used the IMG code option and all works fine.

Sometimes photobucket will let you onto the site, but as a guest.

could you be using the wrong password? or a slightly misspelt username.

Forget photobucket, try this
