It is possible you have made an error when typing in the link.

This thread explains how to post/link photos to your thread.

Thanks Col. Just want to clarify. If I want to put a link to my photobucket album on somebody elses thread so they can view my 30 odd photos,do I follow the link you gave me? I don't want to simply post one photo. What I am after is something similar to your reply,where you had a highlighted link to the how to. Hope that makes sense!

When you are in photobucket, there are two ways you can share an album.

On the right hand side, there are links in photobucket. There is one that says - Share this album. Copy and paste that link into the thread and people will be able to view your album or alternatively, you can copy and paste the address in your address bar. It will do the same thing.

I didn't use the insert URL link, I just copied it from photobucket and pasted it straight into the reply.

I would advise you create your post and then preview it. You will then be able to see if you have copied the correct link by clicking on it in the preview panel.

I have included a pic.



Cheers
Col

In photobucket, when you click on the link, it should automatically say copied. If not, highlight the whole thing you want to copy (the whole link) Right click with your mouse, and select Copy or once highlighted you can go CTRL+C, then go to the post you are replying on and either go Right click with the mouse again -> Paste, or CTRL+V to paste. As I said, I suggest that you preview your post BEFORE submitting it, just to make sure you have it right

They are just photoshop pics I did for members on here. They are all in various threads in the photoshop section.
