I'm searching the boards but I can't find a message that refers to this (even though I think I remember seeing one).
I've tried using the thing but I can't seem to make it work. does the extension of the image (.jpg or .png) have something to do with it?
How do you do it?

I usually upload my images either to photo bucket or just on facebook, I will give you directions off of facebook since alot of people use that, If you don't want your facebook friends to see the pictures you can set the album to private (only me)

You will want two windows open, one for this forum and one for facebook, open up your picture (click on it so its at its largest size) Then right click on it and go down to propperties (at the bottom) when the window pops up, go to Address URL it will start with http:// double click on it to highlight the entire thing, then right click and select copy (or hold down your ctrl key and c key at the same time)

Next go to your post and you will want to put in this code then paste the Address URL you just copped and then type [\IMG] you dont want any spaces in there it will look like this (except the { and } will be [ and ] and the http:// part is different for every single picture {IMG}[url]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs974.snc4/76780_487745556788_694821788_7003199_6260512_n.jpg[/url] {\IMG}

if you were to copy that whole thing and change out the { } for [ ] you would see this

THIS IS A PM from momiilou...where she told me how to do it.....

feel free to send me messages to practice if you need!

If you upload your images to photobucket, or other photo hosting sites, most of them have the code done for you so you can just copy it and paste it into your post!

Make sure you have the whole code and make sure on facebook that you have the photo opened up to the big version. also on facebook sometimes you have to move your highlighting down ...there is a long thing and more to copy then it looks like...Off to check and see if I can do it.

Okay, I'm gonna see if I can figure this out.


LOL, apparently I did something wrong. Take 2


3rd time's the charm??


Interesting. I have done this on other sites and I think I'm doing it correctly. Either my URL on FB is bad or maybe photos are not allowed for newbies.

Hi, luludou. Sorry to take over your thread. I'm not having any luck with images, either.

Trying one more time. I'm nothing if not persistant. LOL Yay!! It worked. That is the VD Wreath I made tonight. :) Sorry the picture isn't the greatest, I used my webcam.

I'm definitely not an expert, but I think your IMG tags are not right. You have [\IMG] where it should be [/IMG] I don't know if that would fix the whole problem...but it is worth a try. :)
