Still unable to post pics. And it's not working again!

[JW_Halverson]

I have been able to link several photos in Photobucket to other forums lately, but in here it is one thing after another that does not work right.

I was able to get the IMG code to transfer to the Dialogue box under "Attachments and other options" yesterday, but then the "Post" button would no longer work, nor would the Preview button.

Today I can copy the IMG code but the Dialogue box under "Attachments and other options" does not work.  I even tried to type it in manually, but it was locked out and would not accept anything.  I tried putting something, anything in the box for attachments even on this post and it isn't working under this post either.   I do not claim to be a great and deft hand at computers, but I have a passing understanding of them, what could I be doing wrong?

This is why I have posted only one or two photos in all the years I have been on this forum, I was never able to make it work before and now with the newer format it's just as bad.

John, paste it after what you've written. I double hit "ENTER" then paste right there.

paste here!

First two attempts kicked my log-in out and told me I was not allowed to post in here!  Third time it worked.  Posted a little pic in Around the Campfire of a recent visitor.

Thanks Pat!

I saw him. He was cute!!!

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but I can't post pics again!

I can copy the pic from my photobook account and even paste it on new folders on my desktop, old folders on my desktop, or into Word documents.  However, in no way shape of form will it allow me to paste anything into/onto/under/around anything I post here in the PA Forum. 

I double checked that the images are no larger than 640 by 480 and less than 200 Kb.

John, contact Marie(Calendergirl) or Justin and see if they can't help. Both of them are way more computer savy than me.

Thanks, Pat.  I appreciate how you are patiently dealing with a ham handed primitive that thinks maybe I could just try a bigger club!

I'm at another computer today and will first see if it works from this terminal instead of the usual one I use.

The way I do it, with photobucket, is I copy the direct link to the image at photobucket then click on the "insert image" icon here then go up and click on edit and paste.  Works every time and does not affect any other function.

I think I finally know how to fix the problem, but it is going to take me a few days to fix it.
