Using Photobucket to post images to the forum

[BuckRogers]

just trying out this Photobucket thing.



Hey, it works. I guess I can start posting pictures as well. This is the pencils for UY: Legends.

Stan, you do know that internet forum etiquette* requires you to give any artwork posted in somebody's "Gallery" to that person. So, on behalf of Buck Rogers, I want to say "AWESOME DRAWING!" and "OH MAN, THANKS SO MUCH!"

(* Just kidding)

This deal just keeps getting better and better! First all the free tech advice and now free sketches!!!

(Don't worry Stan, I'll not hold my breath! )

The button you want to use is the "direct" one. If you click on it, it will copy the link to your Photobucket image.

Then come to the forum and use the "Img" button when posting a reply and paste the link in between the tags.

Thank a TON all!!! Still a house full of sick people but soon I will be able to try this at home. Thanks again!

Why click the direct link and then Img on the DojoBoard? I just click the IMG link from Photobucket. Does it save space somehow?

For two reasons. One is as Steve as said, it gives a link back to the actual image on your account, and you may not want that anyhow. Two, the IMG tag is BBCode, and you may not be on a forum that uses BBCode, or it has its own media interface for pasting the image link into it.

I also just use the IMG link on Photobucket, but after I paste the link in the forum, I delete the portion of the link which leads back to my account on Photobucket , leaving just the address for the image itself.

I didn't realize it was leading back to my account.

I suppose clicking direct and then Img prevents that without having to delete the account portion in the IMG link.

Just to keep it in the same thread, here's the finished cover.



Sounds like there will be a step by step posted to Facebook in a couple days, so I assume Steve will add that to the Step by Step sub-forum once available.

Holy SMOKES!!! What a cover! That is incredible!!! Really one of the best ever, Stan.
