I put this question in the test drive section maybe i should have put it here...
I, for the life of me cant get my pics to come up. I am using photobucket and hobbystage as my host site. I type in paste the link of the pic here and end with Isnt that how you do it? For example:
http://photobucket.com/albums/v202/...t=firebird2.jpg
Doesnt work

If you are using photobucket, they do all the work for you. Choose the pics you want to display and then click on "generate HTML". You then have 5 choices of how to display your photos. Highlight, then click and drag your selection from photobucket to your post on T/C and it should work. There may be other ways, but thats how I do it. Hope that helps.

is there a ? mark in the link to the picture? a lot of software like our forum typically reject the ? or ! as hackers can try and use such codes to do evil deeds.

The link you post seems to be short a bunch of characters.

From PhotoBucket album select the photo you want to post here by checking the box,
you should see a green check mark.

Scroll to bottom of page and click on the Generate Html & Img code button.

A new window will pop up with various fields, I use the "IMG images for message boards" field or thumbnail field.

Highlight the text in that field, right click, copy.

Go to Camaro Tech thread you want to post in and paste what you copied from photo bucket. The text will appear, but when you click preview post, your image should appear.

Hope this helps.

Watch for spaces. xxxxxx is not ok, [img]xxxxxxx is ok.
You should be able to cut & paste the code right from photobucket.

You do see the IMG code under the pics, right? If not, in the options, make sure [I]Display IMG is set to Yes.
