I swear I used to know how to do this. But, now I continually get a black X box instead of a picture.
Pictures are hosted on Photobucket. I have tried clicking on the "link" link in Photobucket and copying that and I have tried right clicking on my picture and copying the Properties link.
Can someone walk me through it again? |

On Photobucket, click on the "direct link" to copy your photo's info Here, paste the image by clicking on the little photo icon (third one from the left) and then paste the info in the text box Should work  |

how i do it: open the picture. On the right side it will say SHARE LINKS with hotlinks below it and options to share here just click the text after the IMG word. It will automatically copy it for you. Come back here and hit paste, your photo should appear  |

I find that it's not consistent....sometimes I can link an image by inserting the text after the IMG word and other times it will work if I add the text after the html option. Weird, right?

Thanks for the suggestions. When I look at my picture in Photobucket, the only link I have is the IMG one. I don't have Email, Direct or any of those other links. If I copy the IMG link and hit paste, I get this...  If I click on the Insert Image icon and hit paste, I get this... [img src=" ![]() img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/cmpeter/CindiandCamiCA8-29-04Sm.jpg" src=" " alt=" "] |

Yay! The first option worked...I just couldn't see it in my post until I hit submit. Thanks Loco Coco! Ignore the picture, it was just the first one in my bucket...very old one of dd and I.

cmpeter: I used to get the maddening little X when I tried to post a photo. Then I discovered that my Photobucket account, like yours, wasn't set up to use the DIRECT link described by leannec. To access that option, I clicked on the little round icon on the top of my PB page that looks like a grey female silhouette. Then I chose SETTINGS...then ALBUMS...then I enabled the DIRECT option under LINKS so that it always appears as a choice next to my selected photo. Works like a charm now. (I see you've had success with IMG, but that one's inconsistent for me...)
