You can post a pic using any URL. For instance, I got this off from Spiderwrangler's facebook page:
To post your own photo from photobucket, login to photobucket, click on the picture you want to post & look on the right hand side. There will be a few boxes, DIRECT, HTML, IMG, etc. Click on the box next to DIRECT. It should automatically copy the URL that's in the box. You can always use CTRL-C to copy highlighted text as well.
In the forum post click on the box that says 'Img' up at the top & 2 tags will appear.
- Code: Select all
[img] & [/img]
Paste (CTRL-V) the copied URL between them. Alternately you can type out the 2 tags without pressing the 'Img' button.
In the post, it should look like this:
- Code: Select all
[img]http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o665/Ozwald406/Pinky.jpg[/img]
The URL must point at an image file, meaning the last part of it is going to end in .jpg, .gif or .png. There are a few other image files, but not all of them are supported. 99% of the image files you could ever need to post here will end with one of those 3, so there shouldn't be any problem there.
