Nikki, you've tried to link to the album address rather than an individual photo...

Hi all wondering if someone could help me... I've been doing a trip report on Spain and some of my photos have posted in the wrong orientation - I'm just wondering how to alter this - I've been uploading my photos and then inserting the link using the picture icon. Also can you get rid of the attached image thumbnails using this method or would it be easier making an album on the Dibb and then uploading?

Thanks

When you are ready to insert a photo into a DIBB posting, log back in to your PhotoBucket album and underneath each photograph you'll see a small link labeled IMG Code. Click once on that link and all the necessary technical stuff you need will be automatically copied to your PC's clipboard.

When you have composed your DIBB message, all you need to do is Paste that stuff directly into the place in your text where you want your photo to appear - you can do this via your browser's menu, or simply use the normal Windows shortcut - Control+V.

Note: you can click on Preview Post to check to see that it's worked before you submit the message.

Hi Andre, I must be doing it all wrong! I have managed to upload my photos to photobucket but cant get it into a message. Clicking on the link produces nothing for me (does this link come up in a box with some other links?) Is it supposed to highlight or anything. I cant get anything to happen! As you can tell I dont manage tech very well!

In PhotoBucket, underneath or next to each photo there is an "IMG Code" button - click on that and the special code you need will be placed into your PC's text clipboard.

Then, when you are in your DIBB message editor, just paste that code into the message (Control-V is the quick way to do that). It will look something like this:

Post the message and your photo should appear.
