Photobucket, use of

Post by Telegram Sam »

I have several pics mounted in Photobucket and to transfer any of these to the Forum I need to select the Link Option IMG Code. But this does not appear to exist within the list of options on display at present. What to do??

If you can upload to photobucket,
Then creating links is quite easy.

I click on the picture I want.
Select the "share" symbol.
(Looksa bit like a V on it's side with balls on the ends).

You should get a drop down list of four different link formats.

I click on the bottom one.

Photobucket then says saved to your clipboard.

I then paste the relevant clipboard item in line in my post.

(Using the photobucket app on my Galaxy android phone).

It looks like there are 5 options under "Share" and the bottom one calls itself Story embed: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s1324.photobucket.com/user/Teleg ... "></iframe>. The Help screen refers to using IMG code but the link itself seems to have vanished through a hole int' bucket! Or I am just being too slow on the uptake.

I click on copy to clipboard

Then i get 4 options.

My fourth option starts
[URL]http://s300..........

I tap on that and hey presto the link is copied to my clipboard.

Penny has dropped. Difference between sharing an "album" and sharing a "photo" .. I will take it from there
