PHOTOBUCKET DILEMMA

[nvbobr_imp]

I don't use photobucket, but are you all pasting the direct link code into the "insert image" option on the forum (where it requests the Image URL)? That should work.

Here's one of nvbobr images using photobucket direct link code and using the "insert image" on the forum.

That's what I do. The Photobucket image code seems a bit busy. I just copy the "direct link" at photobucket, click on the "insert image" icon in the forum, then paste the direct link into the resulting box. The forum software just inserts the image code at each end of the "direct link" URL. Like so :

I might do the same in the future, but for me the question is whether other members can see images in higher resolution that I post, given the types of computers and browsers they are using. Lots of forum pictures don't need to be enlarged but some do. For example, real pretty seat time pictures and close up "how to" tutorial images might be nice in higher resolution. I certainly know what I can see on my computer, but if Safari and Firefox users can't enlarge a high resolution photo that I post using Photobucket, no matter what code or technique I use, then Photobucket becomes a deal breaker for me. Maybe it's time to find another photo hosting site on the internet (tinypic.com, smugmug, etc.)

I agree with everyone else that this probably isn't a forum software issue. I also really appreciate all the tireless help. Cormanus, my hat is off to you!
