from where? computer? Phone? iPad?

click the "Attach a File" link under "leave a comment". Pick your pic, then when it shows as an icon, click the "insert image" if you want it embedded in your text (otherwise it's just a link to a pic with a small thumbnail).

Doesn't work with my ipad but seems to at work

My insert image link doesnt seem to work. It just says "image" in the post.

on your iPad or Iphone, download photobucket. open photobucket and either take a picture or upload images from your library

Once the photo you want is uploaded to photbucket, click on it. There will be a small "i" in the bottom right corner. Click that and a box will pop up with 4 different types of files. Click on the HTML file (3RD file down from the top) and it will copy the link. Paste that directly in your comment box (this box for example) on the forum and the image will be imbedded in your post.

How do you paste them?

rambrose · June 2012

None of the tool bar items are highlighted and I cannot click on any of them (I am using an I pad) I can type a message but that's all

you have photbucket installed on your ipad right?

Mike8it · June 2012

You need to click on full site at the bottom of the page if you are on the mobile site. If you are already on the full site there is a <> icon right above where you type. Click on that then click on the grayed out icon on the right hand side that looks like a picture. Make sure you erase the http: that is already in the link when it appears

I dunno. I'm sure someone will come along to help. It works for me and I learned it from someone else on here so I don't know what to tell you

I use Picasa, a Google program, for pictures. I can post the thumbnails, but I can't get them in text. Is anyone familiar with Picasa that could help?

TIA

Yes, keep clicking the picture so you just have the picture on the screen.

1. Right click when you get the picture in picasa and select view image (windows/firefox)
2. When the new broswer window opens copy this link and past it using the insert image button on the top of the post section. The link should end in .jpg.

Let me know if i should do a webshot tutorial.

@Airwolf will this be the same with Google Chrome?

It should be similar, I don't have google chrome installed on this machine. The point is you want to view just the picture... the URL or web address should end in .jpg

Duganboy · June 2012

OK thanks airwolf. I will play with it a little. May send you a PM if I have other questions. Don't won't to hijack the thread just for me.

alexwolf1216 · June 2012

lakebndegg · June 2012

Thanks for all the advice. I have it working on my laptop but not yet on the Ipad,(I'll download the photobucket and give it a try)

alexwolf1216 · June 2012

Ah, I figured it out......Flickr doesnt make it a .jpg.....sorry to spam the thread

Duganboy · June 2012

Airwolf · June 2012

My comments with the .jpg is in reference to picasa sorry for the hijack or confusion.

Duganboy · June 2012

Airwolf, you are teacher of the year. I guess this is right?

Airwolf · June 2012

Looks like it is working to me... after you post the picture, you can also resize it if you want by dragging the corners of the pictures.

@Airwolf again thanks. I will fool with it when I have more time.

Things like this are why this board is so helpful. I've got many, many more hours on the BGE than I do at the keyboard. I would never have figured out how to do it.

Howdy, Stranger!
