Problems Posting Pictures
Has something changed? In the past I was able to post pictures from Photobucket by copying the Tag code into the body of my post and the pic would show up. Last time I did it was 8 months ago. Tried it today and insted of converting to a photo, it remained a link to the pic. See my blog Kneadless Bread. Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro Pan,
I also have difficulties using photobucket. One pic in 10 makes it to this site...no idea why!!
I am not computer savy, but have uploaded pics to yohoo groups for years without a problem. Perhaps it is a photobucket problem, this is my first experience with itl
Good luck!!
It is pretty strange Bean, now 2 of the pics have uploaded and the remainder are links??? I'm going to give it some time to see if eventually all the pics show up.
I'm fixing your post, which is why some are fixed.
Click the "disable rich-text" link at the bottom of the post area if you want to paste in raw HTML. Otherwise, the HTML gets escaped and doesn't show up right.
I'll finish fixing your post in a sec. I just got interrupted finding out my Wii order was cancelled. :(
Finished updating it.
Thanks!
Floyd- could this lack of "raw HTML" be my problem also?
(BTW I have NO IDEA what I have just asked you, I am just parroting your "computer speak"..
I don't believe so, no. Not based on what I've seen.
An example is this thread:

Your HTML is correct, but you are pointed at an image that doesn't exist on Photobucket.
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n145/beanfromex/rotipuffed15.jpg
So... perhaps you never uploaded the photo there? Or made a typo in the URL?
Is it the "URL", the "TAG" or the "IMG" that we C&P into the comment area? Sorry to go on about this. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
You have a few options:
- You can click the "disable rich-text" here and then paste in the full tag. That will include the "a href" as well as the "img src" tag in raw HTML.
- You can take just the URL ("http://.... yourimage.jpg") and, instead of disabling rich-text, click the little image icon on the top of the editor (it looks like a tree). If you do that, you'll get a pop up window. Paste in the the URL of the image and then update. It will include the proper tags for you and you'll even be able to preview the image in the editor area.
The WYSIWYG editor that I added to the site a few months back seems, in general, to have helped most people include image or format text without needing to know HTML. But for those who do no HTML (or who try to paste it in) it does cause complications.
I fixed the tags in your comment above.
thanks, love the image icon
Your eclairs look really nice! What filling did you use? (It is lunch time and I need to know!) I have used pastry cream, but I prefer to use two parts pastry cream to one part whipped cream. I like a lighter filling.
That sounds really great, Rick2u!
I have tinkered with my pastry cream filling, and I even made a rich chocolate one by adding an ounce of bitter chocolate. For the most part the filling is pretty tolerant of changes.
