Problems with pictures

This is all not meant to offend. People are definitely having issues with posting pictures. It is just a mystery to me why it happens. For instance, today, I was able to make it work just fine, but Zoafreak seems to be having problems with every post and I am not sure why.

Kyle and I seem to be the ones helping people to fix their posts and Kyle is working on an instructional set of how to post pictures, because there are many ways to do it, and it's easy for new users to get confused. But for us to be able to do help people, we have to find a way to make it work for us, consistently.

I know that you are busy outside of everything you do here and I respect that and respect that you have done so much to help, so don't get us wrong. We're just trying to figure this out

 

Thanks JB, I appreciate the advice. I also found that using the insert image button via the WYSIWYG editor did seems to work well, even with the HTML.

I think one of the issues was that Photobucket automatically adds the HTML href language (linking back to their site) into their HTML code link when you do not have a paid subscription. This happens even if you turn their "Link Back Option" off. I discovered this when Nik showed me his account and I compared the function to mine. It seems though that the insert image button field for pasting this into strips the bad code away and it then works.

This is what we need, not everyone knows these things so it is a constant battle for people to get pictures posted. I think a good instructional guide will help out immensly.


How about a proper proedure for posting links so they are active and you can just click on them. That's another one I seem to struggle with and it seems sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

Maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention to how I am doing it. I swear in the past used the toolbar options and it didn't work. But of coarse now when I try it works every time LOL.
Did we get the toolbar showing up in every forum, every time? I know some time ago I posted about it not showing up in the regional section, but that seems to be better now.

 

In another thread I posted pics of the buttons to push, and the toolbar that should be seen.

 

Just checked IE, and I didn't have the toolbars either. Hell I couldn't even make a post using IE.

I'm not sure what version I have, I never use it.
