OK, first off, before I get flagged for making a new post on loading pics I did read the sticky on Pic loading, and it didn't really answer my question, so I asked in that sticky, and I guess no one ever looks at it cuz my question never got answered, I'm not complaining, just explaining why I made the new post....

OK, on with my incompetence, so I'm a newbie still figuring this thing out. How do I put a picture in my post. I've tried using the "Img" button, and pasting in an address of the pic I want to load, but no joy. I've tried doing that with images from the buggynews gallery, and photobucket. I'll go ahead and try again in this post, so maybe that'll help yall figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Yep, really no clue what I'm doing so thought I'd try and someone can tell me where I'm going wrong. Magic box no work

Couple problems I see:

1. you only need one set of [img ] [/img ] before and after the picture

2. The pics can be no larger than 800x600.

Resize your image and try it again. It should work.

I tried to insert that image in to a post from your photobucket but got the same warning, can't be over 600 x 800 in size... but that image is only 640 x 480 and 89 kb on your photobucket (right click properties) so I don't know what's going on. To get rid of the two [img] use the direct link that photobucket generates, not the IMG code when you try again. Wierd... hope someone figures it out.

I went directly to the image he posted and it shows 1024x768 for me - too large.

OK, so I resized the image, lets see if that helps....

Apparently no dice.... hmmm magic box no work

OK, how bout this, if someone could explain to me how they get pics from their pc, to post them in their posts. Sorry, I'm apparently clueless. I know how to use paint to resize images, I know how to post them to the gallery on this site, and to photobucket. Photobucket has tools to resize my pics, but I don't care how elementary you have to make it. I'll try your methods, upload them to wherever, I just want the magic box to work thanks for the feedback so far, hopefully I'll get this figured out.

Fixed - you had an extra set of [ img] [ /img] again, and that 2nd method won't work here.

wow it works, thanks. I'll play with it and see if i can get another one up,

Awesome, thanks so much guys. Now I can show off my odyssey's. Well, what do yall think, pretty......
