what am I doing wrong?

Ok I can not get a picture to post using the knot's system....I upload to phtobucket or tinypic and then copy the link to add the photo.  When it shows up on my post, it is a blank box with a red x on it.  What am I doing wrong?  It should not be this hard

Re: what am I doing wrong?

  • Its a total pain! I have found that if you load the pictures before you load the text it works so much easier. I have no idea why but it does.  And here is the link to the post about adding pics..

  • yeah it always takes me a good 10min to try and get something posted. The system they use for this site sucks.

    Rolls! by Tisha_McFluffy, on Flickr

    See now, all I did there was go to my Flickr, click on the picture I wanted, click "Share this" and then "grab the BBCode" and choose the size I wanted ( small) and then copy and paste the code into this box.

    BTW, those are the rolls I made before I baked them on Sunday.  lol

    Did you know that on some photos (sometimes if I find a generic picture on a site that will let me copy/paste the photo, I do that (like for the "who was your crush when you were young" post and stuff).  But anyway, after you paste the photo, you can click on it once and it will highlight it and then you can click and drag the little boxes around it, to make it bigger or smaller.

    I swear I listen but I always forget about my Flickr account which is lame because we paid for the Pro account. Stick out tongue

  • I can't seem to do it...I give up

    Ok I was able to use flickr to adjust size and then I just cut and pasted.  I am done with TN way of doing it

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • What is the "right" TN way to do it?  Clicking on the tree image?  what do you do from there?

    I think something might have gone slightly wrong.  If posting from Flickr, that image HAS TO link back to the Flickr image.  I am not 100% sure you used the BBCode.

    I hope this isn't dumb, but I took some screenshots.  I hope they help.

    :-)

     

    Step 1:  Click the photo you want to use.

    Step 2:  Click "Share this" then "Grab the HTML/BBCode"

    Step 3:   Change it to BBCode and I use the "small" size.  Then copy that code.

    Step 4:  In the reply box in TN, right click and paste the BBCode.

    I hope that helps!

  • BTW, just FYI.  If you ever want to make any pics on your flickr private... like, I didn't want my SIL to see the baby clothes I bought (so she'll be surprised at the shower when she opens them) but I wanted to show them off here (because I am an AW) so I set them to private.  But when you copy/paste that code, they will still show up here.  So, that's nice.

  • I had far less trouble with flickr than photobucket....I may stick with it
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I used to only use photobucket, but once I finally got used to Flickr and fully switched over, I have never gone back.  Photobucket is just so sort of clunky and old.  lol  I don't know.  Flickr is just so much more user friendly, IMO.

    And it, has a lot of bells and whistles, but not that kind that you have to use if you don't want to.  That's nice, I think.  You can do as little or as much as you like with it.  They do have all kinds of neat features though, if you ever have time to sit down and play with it.

    Flickr is the only thing I have ever paid for a subscription to online.  I think it's worth it.  Digital cameras aren't going away anytime soon and I always hated not having a really super convenient way to store my photos, so I just seriously am in love with Flickr.

  • That's pretty cool :)  I wish there was a size option between the small and the medium, but it's still possible to click on the linked picture to see the larger image... I like it.

    Yeah, that's seriously my ONLY complaint when it comes to Flickr.

    If this works I am so excited!  And also sorry that you have to see my random picture in this post so I could practice.  I have been trying for ages and just gave up.  Thanks Tisha!
