I have a beautiful picture of Jake my U2 and want to post it but I cannot understand how to do it despite reading the 'how to' post.

Any help greatfully received!!

Okay, here we go!

First, you need to host your picture at photobucket, imageshack or some other image hosting website. This is because in an effort to reducde cost to Birdline, we have stopped the ability to upload pictures.

Once you have your picture hosted, you should have a link to the picture.

Example URL (Web Address) from Imageshack: http://img17.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bobby.jpg

So, you have got your URL (Web Address) for the picture. You can now click on the Image Icon

Once you have clicked the Insert/Edit Image button a new box will appear. In this new box, enter the URL (web address) that you got from your image hoster.




 

Once you have entered the URL, now click on OK and the image will appear in your post.

Job Done !

Kerry.....if menopausal old me can do it....I'm sure you can!!

What am I doing wrong ? When I try to upload a picture using photobucket I just get a little red cross where my pic should be

Good idea Rick, glad I'm not the only one

Thanks Marc.

Yes I had a problem yesterday but got there in the end. I couldnt get the process right in my head.  I ended up having to chose the second option for urls listed. Getting the photos onto bucketshop was ok ie creating an album but then sending a particular photo on from there was the problem for me.  You also need to remember to chose the photo you want by ticking the box  below the particular photo on bucketshop which I kept forgetting to do which meant I ended up with a box with a red cross in the corner instead of the picture when I tried to get it on to a birdline page.  Clear as mud I know. Good luck.
