How do I attach a picture to a post?

Either then not a problem with XP or something you have done with your security settings.

Just got the following from P'Bucket Community support

Yes, this is due to Flash 10

Although when that first occurred the yellow "copied" flag still appeared as normal I now find it does not. Has some change been made or is this something else at my end.

Yes, they changed this to try to help avoid some confusion.

Yes, it is version 10 that is causing the issue.

Here's the official statement from PB

We are sorry that you are currently experiencing issues with the one-click copy feature provided with your Photobucket account. Adobe recently released Adobe Flash Player Version 10. There were changes in that program to prevent problems with potentially dangerous content being added to your clipboard. Those changes interacted with the one-click copy feature provided by Photobucket.

Photobucket is actively working on a resolution for the issue and plans to have that available in the near future.

Some browsers use an add-on (plugin) version of the Adobe Flash Player while others use the version downloaded and installed directly onto your computer. These versions can be different. It is possible that trying a different web browser from your same computer may allow the one-click feature to work for you. Please be sure to use one of our supported browsers. http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=57&...=f&topicID=623

Beta versions of browsers are not supported by Photobucket.

Suggested browsers -

Internet Explorer - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx
Firefox - http://www.firefox.com/
Safari - http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

If using another browser is not an option or does not work, we ask that you temporarily use the copy feature provided through your operating system. You can do this by:

Windows:
- Left click once over the code. Then, click your right mouse button and select Copy.
or
- Using the CTRL - C command on your keyboard to copy, then CTRL - V to paste

Mac:
Hold down the control key and click in the code field. Then, select copy.

I haven't tried it with Firefox yet, as been too busy, but certainly the latest versions of flash have caused me no problems using IE with my security settings.

 

[richardabeattie]

Good grief chaps - can we cut the cackle and give a simple instruction on how to post pictures? Brendan tried but usng teckie language. Everybody else piled in with clever stuff.

How about a plain english instruction intelligible to non IT people?

In a nutshell.

Create a Photobucket account

Upload the picture(s) you want to post on here, Selecting "large" as the size from the upload options..

Click and copy the IMG code from below the thumbnail that appears in Photobucket.

Paste that in your post without using any further mark up tags.

(warning: the "auto-copy" feature does not work if you have the latest version of Flash player installed)

It really is that simple. Don't be put off by the apparent complexity of Dog Watch's tutor.

Later learn how to use some of the features of Photobucket.


[/ QUOTE ] Just how much more simple do you want it?

 

[richardabeattie]

Thanks - I will keep a cpopy of these instructions.
When I know what mark up tags are I will be the very model of a modern major general

 

[tangomoon]

So you should - but so do I having done it 2/3 times and forgotten.

Well done Kioni

As so many ask, it would be a good idea to have it permanently at the top of this or another room perhaps

 

[Alfie168]

I've seen it done in cowboy films..The Sheriff gets a hammer and nails and generally attaches the picture of a baddy to a post using those.

Have I missed something? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
