I posted the URL code from photobucket but picture won't appear?:mad:

Can we edit posts after a certain period of time? I tried posting a picture but it didn't appear and want to delete it. I must of waited to long?:confused:

I've noticed that if I select the URL code that photobucket gives me it doesn't work most of the times but if I right click and copy address it does work... not sure why :confused:

Just try reposting the picture because you can't edit or delete after I think 30 minutes... hope that helps :)

Thanks dezertgirl! I tried test posting it by using the address rather than the URL code and it still doesn't post the picture? But it does give a link to photobucket that does show the picture. Oh well, I'll learn how to use attached thumbnails.

Did you use the 'insert image' icon (yellow box w/ mountain) or just paste the link in the body of the post? The HTML tags are different for insert image as opposed to just posting the link which causes different behavior. <IMG> vs <URL>

I tried both inserting the link in the image icon (yellow box w/ mountain) and pasting the link in the body of the post. Both didn't work? :mad:

I've found this is the easiest way for me to post pictures from photobucket.

I pick whatever picture I want to transfer into my post. Place the cursor on the picture and allow the drop down box to appear. Place your cursor on the IMG code box.

Left click on the box and a yellow "copied" box should appear.

Go to RDC and right click and paste the code into the narrative field.

That's it!! It's always worked for me.

Thanks guys. I guess what threw me off was the image icon (yellow box w/ mountain) requesting a URL code.
