Need help with images

Mrs_pbradley936

Yesterday I posted a happy birthday wish for someone in the Arms via photobucket BUT mine came out as a link to the image and every else’s came out as the image itself. Why was that and how do I change it?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Well I tried that and as you can see it gives the link rather than the image!

Ok so on my first attempt it didn't want to (ie.posted the link) but now it does or not as the case may be, yet it shows up on my preview as a piccy. I know I had this problem before but can't find the page where I worked out how to fix it - will keep looking.

Seems to work for me. Just clicked on the insert image icon and pasted the link.

Okay it seems that I can post this one but not others

The problem I see with scottishlass's link is that it isn't a direct link to the jpeg. The problem with the op's link is that it isn't the direct link, it's the email/IM link. I think this is why neither of yours are working. You need to use the right link which is the "Direct Link" listed under the picture in the album.

they give you a clue which link to use by adding forums and bulletin Boards next to it.

Well I've never used photobucket before so was just using the link the op originally gave and then the copy link location from that.
