Trying to post pictures
When I try to post pictures using photobucket I get this message.
"It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct."

Re: Trying to post pictures
I don't use PHOTOBUCKET not sure if you have the app on a Smart phone or PC. But after reading about it, my guess is that you need to download you picture to your device (phone or PC) . Then you will be able add that copy as an attachment to you post. Worth a try anyway.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Trying to post pictures
I also do not use Photobucket.
When I download my pictures to my laptop from my phone (camera) I have it set to go directly to Window Live Photo Gallery. From there all I have
to do is convert them from a JPEG file to a GIF file in "Paint". Then I can post them here. Only forums using the PHP BB hosting format require the conversion to GIF, the rest can just be posted as JPEGs

Re: Trying to post pictures
Keep it simple. Skip Photobucket. Post directly from your computer. A JPEG is fine. Like this:

Re: Trying to post pictures
Steve,
For some reason I cannot get a JPEG to post here or the AA-Fords Forum (both PHP BB hosted) I have to convert them to a GIF, but can post JPEGs on every other forum I am on that are not hosted by PHP BB! .

Re: Trying to post pictures
Chris,. Down below you see the tab that states attachments. Click on that, add files. It is not fast so give it a few seconds and you will be able to figure it out.

Re: Trying to post pictures
All of my pictures are JPG and won't post. I don't have the Windows Live Photo Gallery and I have no clue how to convert them to a GIF. In the past my Photobucket links had always worked.

Re: Trying to post pictures
Pictures being jpg files is not the problem. I post JPEGs here all the time.
Usually I don't have to do any editing, but occasionally the site will tell me the file is too big. In that case I just make a slightly smaller copy and proceed.

Re: Trying to post pictures
Where are you storing them (besides Photobucket)? Mine are in photos on my computer and are all JPG.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: Trying to post pictures
Mark,
Not sure who you were asking, but mine are also stored as JPEG files in Window Live Photo Gallery. I cannot get them to post as JPEGs, for some reason the only way I can get them to post is convert them to a GIF. This & the AA-Ford forums are the only ones I have this problem with, all the others take my JPEGs with no issue!
God Bless

When I select image it gives me image tags. Is there an "insert picture" button somewhere?Steve Jelf wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 10:34 amKeep it simple. Skip Photobucket. Post directly from your computer. A JPEG is fine. Like this:
