URLs

[Rosemary]

When I want to 'post' a picture, the 'Manage Attachment' asks for either a URL or upload from your computer.

Uploading from my computer only gives the link.

I keep most of my photos in Photobucket, which have these codes
Direct Link
HTML Code
IMG Code
Flash Code
Email & IM.

but I'm not sure which to use. Would someone put me straight on this please?

Copy and paste "IMG Code", Rosie...

Oh, thank you very much Pyan. Now to work out which ones to post!

Yea i always use the IMG tags. They use to have <img src tags too which I'd use to post on a gardening forum but I think Photobucket no longer supports them, and I know of no other site that uses img src=

That must have been a while ago AE, as I haven't seen it listed. I use the HTML for posting to my blogs though.

Ok, so I copied and pasted the IMG into the 'Manage Attachments' and it came up as invalid

I never had any problems before, has the system been changed?

?

Just copy the IMG code and paste it straight onto the post, Rosie...

Yep, that works fine...

No, the Manage Attachments box is for uploading actual files from your computer(less than 100K I believe)
No what you do with the IMG tag is put inside [and] like [ IMG]URL[/ IMG]
You simply put that in a message. On photobucket you can just copy the whole URL plus the tags and then paste it into a message
