PHOTOBUCKET DILEMMA

[Cormanus]

This situation is bizarre. I was reading [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8005&pid=123573#pid123573]capttwb136's post about his handlebar deflectors, clicked on one of the pictures and was taken to the 'ixxx' image immediately. Came here to report on it and tried EmptySea's two pictures and was taken to the 'sxxx' page. Go figure. There's still no response from Photobucket to my email.

Now, EmptySea, let me see if I can answer your questions. First, you're doing fine with posting photos. As kennyw points out, the problem here, if there is one, is with photo bucket.

Secondly, if you look at the Photobucket link you posted, you'll see it comprises two parts:

1. URLhttp://s1318.photobucket.com/user/emptysea43/media/17f1c276d0af8685b48d6b95ab6dbab3_zpsgjw0vrgx.jpg.html]; and

2. IMGhttp://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t656/emptysea43/17f1c276d0af8685b48d6b95ab6dbab3_zpsgjw0vrgx.jpg[/IMG

Number one is the URL of the Photobucket page which contains your photo—the so-called 'sxxx' page after the first letter of the URL. It looks like this:



You can see all the Photobucket propaganda around it and links to other bits of the site.

The second is the URL of where the image is actually stored on the Photobucket site—the so-called 'ixxx' page. It should display like this:



It's just the image in its full resolution. I had to load Chrome on my computer and use nvrbob's trick to get the second page to display at all.

Finally, all you really need to see the picture on the forum is the second link—that is IMGhttp://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t656/emptysea43/17f1c276d0af8685b48d6b95ab6dbab3_zpsgjw0vrgx.jpg[/IMG. Interestingly, when I use the IMG link on Photobucket, that's all it gives me. I've no idea why others are treated differently.

Hope that answers your questions.
