Posting pics

Sollophonic · May 14th, 2008, 03:54 PM

I have just posted a pic in the Testing section by uploading from my computer.
When I want to put this into practice by putting it into a new thread on the Discussion page, it comes up with the fact that it already exists on another thread, and doesnt upload it to the one I really want it to be on. Is this just to stop folks posting the same pics over and over again, or am I doing something wrong.
Ive never had a lot of luck with posting pics onto this site, and I want to join in!!!

If you upload as an attachment, it can be used only once (I don't why). The better option is to take advantage of the free gallery built into the forum. Then you can link those images to your posts as often as you like.

Just go to your post in the Testing Only section, click on Edit and then Advanced options and then manage attachments and delete your attachment.

Oh, I see you are trying photobucket now. The reason those are not showing is that you are copying the wrong code. You are copying the HTML code, you need the BBCODE for Forums code.

OR you can just pick up the URL without the html tags.

You can't post HTML code on this website. It's a security risk.
