Problems inserting images??

[Nessie]

Help!:? I am having issues adding pictures to my post. I know how to do it when I start the thread but I can't get it to add pics if it is in an already existing thread?? It wants URL of picture, how do I find the URL of my pics....they are all in my picture folder on my puter.

Thanks

I find when I add from photo bucket, it is easiest to just take the last link they give you, double click and paste it. It is normally the one that starts with [img]

I didn't see an existing album on here of yours ? If you do, than that may be what it is asking. If so, here is the info:

Albums and Pictures

How do I use albums?
As a member, you can create Albums of images that are linked to your public profile. Albums can be created by visiting the User Control Panel (http://www.thetegu.com/usercp.php), and clicking on the 'Pictures & Albums' link, and then clicking on 'Add Album'.
Each album can have a title ('Joe's Holiday to Nepal'), a description ('A bunch of photos from my recent adventure') and can be of three different types: Public, Private or Profile.


Public albums can be viewed by anyone
Private albums can only be viewed by site staff (moderators, administrators) and your Friends and Contacts (info (http://www.thetegu.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_friends_conta cts))
Profile albums are viewable only by you. However, you can use the images to customize your public profile (info (http://www.thetegu.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_profile_custo m))

How do I upload pictures?
Once you've created an album you can upload images to it. Simply view the album and click on 'Upload Pictures'.
You'll have the option to give each picture a caption, and to set one image as the Album cover, which will be displayed on the public profile. To delete an album or edit the title, description or album type, click on 'Edit Album'. To delete an image, or to edit a caption or change the album cover, click on 'Edit Pictures'.
All members who have access to your album images can comment on them, in a similar way to Visitor Messages (more info (http://www.thetegu.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_public_profil e)). You can delete any image comments from your albums, and report inappropriate messages to moderators.
When you have uploaded a picture, you can place it in your posts by using the BB code text that is displayed below the image when you view it at full size.




Honestly, I find it much easier to use Photobucket.com as Sergeman7 mentioned above.

Okay great, I didn't realize I needed to set up an album since it let me insert images at the start of a thread that I start. Now I gotta figure how to make all my pics smaller without messing them all up as apparently all my pictures are too big for the album!

Thanks Again

upload them to facebook, right click the pic, go to properties, Copy the address URL, & paste it in the place that asks for it when you try to add the pic on the forum

Thanks Chris! That is exactly what I was trying to figure out.
