Paging the Ambassador for Wales...

Steve, help! Slack numpty that I am, I still haven't learned how to get the best from my BBPB. Struggling to copy images to the forum from Photobucket - mainly cos there don't appear to be 'alt' or 'ctrl' keys available. Advice/instruction gratefully received

If you look at your image on Photobucket on the right side is a box that says "links to share this photo" the last of which is "direct" if you tap into that box it will change colour momentarily to yellow and state "copied"

then go to your post here and hold your finger down for a second and box will appear that says "paste" or "cancel". Tap on paste and the link should appear in the posting box.

Now flank the link either side with the tags [ img] and [ /img] ... note square brackets ..... but with no spaces and the picture should now display when the post is submitted




The text for this image is but I've added an extra space in the img tags so it "fails" and displays the text

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks Steve. I'll have a play.

I've never had to add img tags, isn't that that done automatically ? ie copy as above paste and image will be displayed when you submit your post .

I usually do as sometimes it gets the [ url] tag then just becomes a link not an img

Thank you as well Nigel. I'll give the 'light' method a go first - all for simplicity, me.
