stephenh Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong? I cannot for the life of me work out how to post photos in my Westfield XI build thread. I've uploaded the photos to my photobucket library, but every time I try to paste a photo from the library to the build thread it seems to simply paste a link to the whole of the library. I've tried following a description which I found in another thread, but it seems to do the same whatever I try! I anyway, I don't really want a link, whether it is to one photo or to the whole library, I'd rather see the actual photo in the relevant post. Otherwise I think people will get fed up with the build thread. And a build thread without photos is a waste of time I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 when you click on the picture on the right hand side you get 4 lines of information one of them says IMG code you need to copy the image code and paste that into your thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhutch Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Can you not just upload them directly to the wscc forum? Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate computers, they are so stupid. Anyway, I've had an offer which I cannot refuse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 For me.. I have to click oh the "direct" box next to the pic in photobucket.. it then changes to "copied", then paste that code into the box that opens when you click on the "Image" icon above the boardroom dialogue box.

XTR2Turbo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have found in the past Internet Explorer does funny things with the boardroom. Try Chrome as a test to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Where the image code is you left click on it to copy it then paste it into your thread. May be Internet Explorer though as I use Firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim.McKeegan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I must say that I used to upload no problem, I then bought a new laptop, and I now have to click the image icon at the top of the post (3 left of the twitter logo), and then paste the direct url from photobucket.

CraigHew Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I use same method as Andrew in post #6 above, although I use Firefox rather than CHrome (for the last year) and long long ago gave up on IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryathome Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I could right click on the picture in google pics and copy and paste into WSCC but no more. I agree computers are stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Click on the actual photo you want to share from your album, and then click on the box on the Right hand side that I am pointing to below The box will temporarily show this when you click it Then come back into your thread on the forum and right click in the area you type your post, and paste it Simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I do the same as Gary and it works, however it does depend which browser you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I do the same on both IE and Chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
