I guess using the thumbnails option from Photobucket does not work here>>

The code that you have pasted is not the right sort for this forum. It works for HTML but here you need BB Code (Buliten Board Code).

I have the same problem from Picasa and I have to mess arround with the HTML that Picasa gives me. This is actually one reason I said above that many people find it too much effort.

Here is your image, as extracted from your code above. A thumbnail and when you click on it you go to the Photobucket site for the full pic.



I'm not sure how to explain what you need though because if I demonstrate it, it will just show as the thumbnail again.

Here goes a try anyway...

1. In your code there is a bit which says 'scr = '. That is followed by a URL which represents your thumbnail image. It starts http and finishes .jpg and there are quotes arround it.

2. Copy the source URL from your code. Don't include the double quotes arround it.

3. Click in the image button above where you write a post (it is yellow with mountains in it).

4. Enter the URL from step 2 in to this box. Press OK.

5. Back in your code from Photobucket. It starts with a section which says <a href=" followed again by a URL, starting Http and finishing .jpg and surrounded by quotes.

6. Copy this other URL.

7. Select the code which the image button inserted in to your post. This should end with [/img] and start with [img]. Include both those tags in the bit you select.

8. Click on the link button, it looks like a globe with a chain link below it.

9. Enter the new URL you copied in step 6.

10. Click OK.

You have now posted the image as I did above.

As I said it's not simple although when you get used to it it becomes second nature. I use this method every time I post pics.

Rosie, thnks for your help. Lemme see if I can do it another way, assuming my thumbnail has it's own address, I can copy and paste it from PB, then just delet the gobbily-goop.

I got the thumb, but not the redirecting to the full size pic...

try again...

[RosieC]

In my instructions the steps 1-4 create the thumbnail. Steps 5-10 create the redirection.

Basically you need to add the thumbnail image which should be a URL surrounded by [/img] at the end and [img] at the beginning.

You then need to turn that whole thing in to a hyperlink to the URL for the full pic. That's the bit where you select the code for the thumbnail and then press the link button and enter the URL for the full pic. It will then combine the two to give the required result.
