Photobucket or whatever.

[brian]

I've been trying to make some sense of "Photobucket" but I'm not making much headway. 

I have managed to upload some photo's, but I don't seem to be able to do anything with them.

Hi Brian,
What's the problem? Are you having trouble importing them to the forum?

Regards,
Mark

Hello Mark, I have not tried to import them any where yet, but I cannot see what you do even if I wanted to, but, I have two sets imported, I must have played about with photobucket at some time in the past and imported a set.

I have now imported the set I use for this forum, and it appears to have tagged the second import onto the first set, I would have thought that they would have been in some kind of folder so that if you did refer to them, you would have designated which folder to look in.

I don't seem to be able to delete any or all, and generally, it will not do what I want it to.

Hi Brian,
If you already have pictures on photobucket you must have registered an account at some time.
Have you logged in to the site? You can't do any editing until you login with your username and password.
It stops unauthorised people messing with your pictures.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Mark.

Oh I can get on site all right, I just can't do owt when I get there.

Hi Brian,
Then I'm stumped!    I had a similar problem when I first went on photobucket, but as I said, I hadn't logged in to my account. 
You could contact their admin and explain the problem, maybe they have an answer?

Keep Busy, nearly Christmas Santa!

It looks to me as though you upload your photo to photobucket into an album. When to click on the image in the album it will open up in the new window. Right click on the image and you will get a "path" of the image and put that between the "Insert image tags" - the second one in from the left on the bottom row of icons when posting that looks like a picture in a frame.

You should have something like ( I have had to add spaces to stop the image being displayed )
[ img ]http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr353/markh15_photos/MotorDiffdetail.jpg[ /img ]

Which will show as:


NOTE: It is even easer:
When you go to the thumbnail page of the album and you put your mouse over an image to get a "popup box" with some paths. You want the bottom path where it says "IMG code" If you click on the link in the box it is coppied into your clip board complete with the image tags.
Just paste the whole line into the forum post. It can be a bit tricky to do the first couple of times as the box has a habbit of disapearing !

Well, I must be thick or summat.

I have just spent half an hour mucking about and I can't make head nor tail of it.

It's not intuitive at all, and none of my family use it so I can't get a teach in.

You will just have to keep increasing the size Anthony.

Regards,

Brian.

Your main page after logging in should look like this, the menu below each picture only appears when you hover over the picture with your mouse.





Click on IMG CODE and then paste it into the forum.

Hi Brian,
Look mate, the last thing you are is thick! I'll bet you a pound to a penny it's something simple you've missed!

Keep thinking,
Regards,
Mark.

People have different strengths/skills and perhaps yours is not the internet.

Anyway people here are willing to help but can not if you do not say what the problem actualy is or give more information e.g. where are your photos are on photobucket?
All you need to do is right click on a photo in your album and we can then get to your album and it will not be the admin section.

Mark and jimmyybob both use photobucket; you could PM either of them and so no details are displayed here on the forum.

I'm realy not interested in being part of photobucket, face book or any of the other socialising blogs, website or whatever they are called.

I can manage all I want by email and joining interesting forums.  The only reason I originally joined was a trip to Le mans with a group off the TeamGTM forum.    I became sort of the official photographer for the few days we were there, and agreed to put the photo's on Photobucket for the rest of the forum to look at.  I stuck them on there, which is very easy to do, and I forgot all about them.  I don't know if they were ever looked at or what ever, certainly, I never got involved with them again untill I tried to open an account the other day because I know I am causing Anthony a few problems with my continual posting of pictures and filling up the space available. 

Upon trying to open an account, I was told I all ready had an account.  so I eventually worked out my original password and got back in to find the Le mans pictures still sat there, great, I thought, I'm away.

The first thing I did was to upload all the Toylander build photo's I have.  These are in a special folder on my hard drive because I resize all these photo's to be able to post on this forum, and as I am making them available to this forum's member's, I don't mind them being available to who ever.

Now the first problem arose as I uploaded them.  I tried to put them in there own folder on photobucket, but they were just tacked onto the end of the Le mans photo's, and despite trying to create new folders, they sit there as one long string of photo's.  At this point, because I'm realy not interested in the process, I was fast running out of patience.

The idea was to go back over my posts and substitute the photo bucket version for the actual version I have posted to free up some server space, but as it is not intuitive in it's layout, I am not going to waste my time any more.  If I can't work it out, it's not worth working it out, stuff it.

I haven't a clue what this paste is going to do, but if this is the mucking about required then I still don't want to know.

Well, that was a waste of time.
