Posting photos! Help!

[Madmax1993]

I can't seem to work out how to embed photos. I'd like to show off some of my bikes, and I've uploaded pictures to photobucket ready, but I can't seem to figure out the IMG tag described in the forum FAQs.

Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks

You should copy the web address of the pics you want to show between the two image tests that appear if you hit the img button:

Good luck!

Re:

Can you check this thread. I just see an empty image box, is it working for you?

Re:

The link you posted is

http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/Voodoomagic1993/library/

... which is the URL of the entire library, not that of the picture itself.

The URL of the picture is

http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/Voodoomagic1993/IMG-20170531-WA0002_zpsan0fz2if.jpg

Put that between the [ img ] and [ /img ] tags and you get this:

That should do the trick.

As long as the picture is a reasonable size, you can also upload it on Retrobike itself. That way yo don't need to deal with the pop-ups and advertisements from Photobucket etc, and there's less of a chance of your picture suddenly disappearing after a couple of months.

That's done the trick, cheers!

Re:

One more question, if I may: is it possible to tag another forum member in a post, so I can draw their attention and thank them for the parts they sold me?

Stick an @ before the username @Madmax1993 I think works

Re:

I know that works on Facebook, but I didn't get any notifications when you tagged me just there.

Re:

No tagging option as far as I know. If you need someone, it's best to PM them with a link to the topic.
