Title: Posting picture issue. Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
Post by: longbow fanatic 1 on March 02, 2017, 02:13:00 PM
Recently, when I post pictures from Photobucket, only the link to the image appears. When I select IMG and attach it to the thread page, it appears like it always does, in numerical form. Then, when I preview the page before posting it, the photo image appears like normal. Once I post the image on the thread, I notice only the link to the image appears on the thread page instead of the image just showing up. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

**Correction: This is only occurring while sending PM's and not while posting on threads.**

Let's see what happens for me. (It works for me. Just a cut and paste of the IMG url)

Copy and paste the IMG link works fine for me.

Wish I had a animal like that run through my wall. Sheesh, some people have all the luck.

Yup. It's working for Bisch and Greg. Not for me. I cut & paste without success. Oh well.

Can you try again and leave the link there? Might see a problem.

Here is a test.

Now it's working. Sheesh. I've noticed the problem when sending PM's. Maybe it only does it then. I was mistaken in my belief that its had occurred on thread pages. After posting this I realized that it, in fact, only occurred on PM's.

I see the pic, not the URL. It worked.

I sent you a PM of a pic. It seems to work for me.

I haven't been able to post pictures from photo bucket for several months. Used to simply tap the img version and a yellow "copy" showed up.  Then I'd past in the post.  Now when I tap no "copy" appears. Can't even copy the entire address and paste.

I think I made a computer change right before this began happening. There maybe some setting that I don't have right.

Bummer.

So evidently, there was a space between the letter C in my handle. It looked like this Longbowfanati c. Once Greg removed the space in the link so it looked like this (Longbowfantic) the image appeared in PM correctly. Apparently, the space doesn't cause a problem when posting to threads.

I'm not sure if you got your problem figured out but that arrow pic is awesome!  Did you build that one?  If so it looks like that crester and you are getting along just great.

No. I wish I had the ability to crest like that. Those arrows were made by the very talented Ron French (Tree Killer).

I just do what you say. I click on the IMG line, the yellow copied shows up (sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds) then paste into the post.  There should be no setting on the computer for that. Did you change your internet browser? I use Google Chrome.  Maybe it works different on Microsoft Browsers

Greg,

Im using a Mac with Safari. I also just click the IMG and it says copied, then I return to TG and click edit and paste. Weird that it works correctly on thread pages, but not in PM's.

Computers are like archery. I think every once in a while the mouse gets a bad click and all bets are off. Kind of like a bad release of the string.  That's my excuse anyway

Even worse, sometimes we do everything right and it breaks anyway. There was a widespread internet outage yesterday and every picture I've ever posted was gone for 5 hours. Magically they all reappeared early in the evening.

While often the problem exists between the chair and keyboard, it's not always the case!

I used to have great success with photobucket but any more it's a nightmare to try to use.  I'm ready to give up posting here.  Wish we could post directly from the computer like another site.    :(

I'm in total agreement Dave. I only have iPhone access to tradgang and it is a real pain to post pics.

For those that struggle with photobucket, I switched to Imgur and it seems to work more smoothly for me.

Maybe a switch would alleviate the hassle.

That's when my problems began, when I got my phone. I no longer have wifi and computer.
