Q: How do I post pictures on the forum?

Photobucket isn't the only place that has the HTML code for your images. It's there on Flickr as well. (p.s. you wouldn't "download" the images to BYC - you would be "linking" them.)​

Click on your image then click on "share" in the top right corner. Then get HTML and post it.

i got the HTML but its this...

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcw95/4541596789/" title="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10 by lcw95, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4541596789_d101cbb55c.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10" /></a>

<a href="(link)" ** this is the start of the code that says "HEY COMPUTER, IM A LINK" All link codes start with <a href=

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcw95/4541596789/ ** this is folder Flickr is linking

title="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10 by lcw95, on Flickr"> ** this can be deleted, it's the mouse over text. you know when you mouse over a link or picture and some text pops up at your cursor?

<img src="(link)" ** this tells the computer that it is an image link. All image codes start with <img src=

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4541596789_d101cbb55c.jpg ** this is your actual image link. Notice it ends in .jpg - this is your image format.

width="500" height="375" ** this is telling the computer how large to make the image. Not needed here on BYC

alt="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10" /></a> ** more mouse over text.

So - to get it to show on this board, which uses BB code and not HTML you type:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcw95/4541596789/" title="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10 by lcw95, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4541596789_d101cbb55c.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="cochin chicks. hatched 4/17/10" /></a>

The bold part is your actual image file link. Everything else should be deleted. Add the [img] tags around it and you are good to go.

Try this.

Go to where ever it is that you can see the picture....
For Mozilla, right click the picture an chose "Copy image location"
For internet explorer, right click the picture an click propertys. Then copy everything by the words Address (URL):

Now start your post an where you need the picture click the "Img" button. It will put the

tags. You then past between the image tags. It should look like this.
[URL]http://cmfarm.us/Jerry/200901252004_11403.jpg[/URL][img] or
[img][URL]http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/141/l_8be3decb0b7e42b0a87a915942a02fc1.jpg[/URL][img] or
[img][URL]http://www.nextnature.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/chicken3~.jpg[/URL][img]

I removed a "/" so it would just show.

If done right you get this.

This works on almost any picture on the internet. It is called "Hot Linking"
