[chickflick1066]

If you can help thanks!

If you mean like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/head.jpg
(By the way, the photo can be bigger, but I chose a small one for demo purposes)

You need to get the image URL and put IMG brackets on either side of it. So it would look like:

(IMG)Image URL goes here(/IMG)

but instead of round brackets e.g. ( and ) you would replace them with square brackets e.g. [ and ]

OR

If you have a photobucket account, there's a much simpler method. Onthe main page of your photobucket aco**** (the one with all the lttle thumbnails of the photos in your album) there will be URL addresses under those thumbnail pictures. Copy the address in the IMG box underneath the desired photo and paste it on here and it will work!

I hope this helps!

Excuse me for hi-jacking your thread, CF, but can I ask (Kyana, I remember you did this?) how you get the picture to come up small in the text (like your demo) but when you click on it it comes up big again?

Horseygal and Stiltz, the method is called thumbnail linking.

First of all, you need to get the thumbnail URL address fo the image. The good news is, for images hosted on photobucket, this is very simple!

The URL address for the thumbnail of an image only differs slightly from the URL address of the fullsize original. All you need to do is add th_ in front of the filename (the last bit of the URL)

For example:
Full size image URL: ...photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/gypfacecute.jpg
Thumbnail image URL: ...photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/th_gypfacecute.jpg

You then need to insert these into the appropriate places in this formula

(URL=Insert the full-size image URL here)(IMG)Insert the thumbnail image URL here (/IMG)(/URL)

Note : For demonstration purposes, round brackets eg. () have been used. In reality, square brackets eg [] need to be used.
In the formula:

every ( represents a [
every ) represents a ]

So, with the URLs insterted, it will look like:

(URL=http://photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/gypfacecute.jpg)(IMG)http://photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/th_gypfacecute.jpg(/IMG)(/URL)

And with the brackets changed, it will work like this:
http://photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/th_gypfacecute.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/v652/GypsyDales/gypfacecute.jpg)

It might look complicated, but once you get the hang of it then it's simple. Just make sure you keep a copy of the formula somewhere so you can use it whenever

All very, very confusing to me! I'm not that good with that sort of stuff! :p

Will copy the formula, so I can use it when I need it!
