I used to be able to just click on the insert image (above) and then copy and paste the link. Is there a new way of doing this???

vavoom, you said you are using Photobucket's links (which I use too) while you were also trying to use our site's Insert Image Icon in the upper reply area to post your image(s). However, when using Photobucket's links and then trying to use our Moutain Icon to insert your images... that will automatically add an extra http: & IMGs into your photo weblinks which will then cause an error. That photo will not be able to show up and only a red X will appear. To fix that error you will need to go back in the link's posting and remove the extra [http:] and [/IMG] verbiage to get your photo image to then show up. BTW: There is a much easier method to use when you are using Photobucket as your main linking source for posting images onto our site.

NOTE: If you are using Photobucket as your linking source then all you have to do is just copy the Image link and then directly paste it into the body of your reply. There is no need to use the Insert Image or also known as the yellow mountain icon in your reply area. Once again if you use the Icon "Insert Image" you will then paste more information than you need to have and your image will not show up at all except for a red x.

1) As illustrated in the example below...



2) Below is a direct copy & paste from the Photobucket website:



3) You can see below how Photobucket allows you to copy the whole link and also inserts the http: and IMG brackets that are needed on our site to be able to post images properly.
