Thanks. The pc sizing looks good. Cormanus can tell me what I did wrong with the postimg.org codes. I also just registered on that site moments before posting on this forum. Maybe they're still processing my paperwork

nvbobr,
tried your image on Firefox, Chrome and Safari and no problems at all. The code in your post looks fine too. I can't connecting to the forum with my iPad using Safari, Chrome or Tapatalk and so can't reproduce the problem there. Seems to work OK on my phone.
I used postimg.org for my trip to Texas and it worked OK, although it was not as easy to use as Photobucket insofar as I had to keep adding the IMG tags.
Edit: got to it on both browsers and Tapatalk on the iPad and it did everything properly.

Thanks again for your help.

Still nothing back from Photobucket in spite of a reminder.
When I looked at nvbobr's post on wildflowers in Death Valley ([url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3268&pid=124361#pid124361]here), the Photobucket links worked first go. They also worked in Firefox but not in Safari. Not sure the problem is fixed.

Cormanus, thanks for the redirect (link, I should say) to my other pictures. I doubt that photobucket will let us routinely avoid the redirect to their "s" files with all the sideboard propaganda, but the attempt is worthwhile, especially considering the teaser "i" files in higher resolution that some folks can access with Chrome, and maybe with other browsers(?). I still get those after two or three tries, clicking on the forum photos. Also, learning how to clean up image codes for posting has been educational. I go into "reply" often to see how other members have used codes. When in doubt, I open a completely new tab and paste my intended image location in the address bar, then hit enter to see if the desired result pops up. If so, I paste the code into my post, bracketed by IMG and /IMG. I know that sort of duplicates the "Preview Post" button, but I don't care.

nvbobr, you are very welcome. Here's the text of a response I got from Photobucket:
Quote:Hello,
When a linked image is clicked, it now opens up on Photobucket.com, as opposed to opening as a separate, full-size image in a new window. Please note that if an album is set to private, people will not be able to view the other photos in that album or access other parts of your account.
For more information on Link Back options, and how to change them, [url=http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/200723824]click here.
I am seeking clarification, but it looks to me like there's no longer a way of getting your browser easily to display the full-size image. That's a great pity. If so, Photobucket should stop teasing us with the pretense that it's available.
By the way, changing the link-back option didn't seem to make any difference; nor is the explanation at all clear.

Thanks again!

Hello,
The full sized image is stored on the Photobucket site. But you are correct, the option to link out original size images is no longer available. There currently isn't a plan to add that feature back. The display size for your linked out image depends on the size you selected in your upload options. To change you upload options, please see the following article for how to: http://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/200723884-Upload-Size-Options
I have forwarded your feedback to our Product managers to prioritize for future development.
Thank you
Looks like that's it unless you use nvbobr's trick with Chrome.
But ...
If you're presented with the image in the standard Photobucket page, you can click on the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the image and you will see a larger version of the image which it looks like you can then download if you really want to see it without all the Photobucket gumf. To do that, right click on the image and choose <Save image as ...>.
In both Chrome and Firefox (but not Safari) I've also been able to right click and select <Copy image address>. Pasting that into the address bar has yielded the image on it's own.
I guess this is only an issue for people who want to look at larger images without Photobucket's advertising.
