Seeing as you're testing, and the forum rules do touch on image size it would probably be good to remove the large images once you discover it didn't work.

Yes, I did read that link you posted, but it doesn't seem to be working... I wrote it like this, only without the extra spaces:

[url = //i95.photobucket.com/albums/l143/discaman/skis4 .jpg][img ]//i95.photobucket.com/albums/l143/discaman/skis4.jpg [/img][/url]

I don't need to be a DP member for this, do I? I was just using photobucket...

The link posted contains the instructions and is not an actual link. Also, if it contains spaces in the tags you need to remove them.

Some sites generate the thumbnails for you but you have to look at the properties of the thumbnail to actually get the url to copy (properties is on the right click menu)

Oh yes, I realize that.

First you have a total of 5 extra spaces including the one in here, "skis4 .jpg"
Second you need to use the thumbnail location from photobucket inside the img tags. You're using the full sized image location.

Since I am not a photbuckent member I cannot find the right image. Sorry...

I saw you figured that out after I posted. The url between the img tags needs to be the one that points to the thumbnail.

... ta da, you figured it out. Sort of

The main url needs to be the url to the large image. (if you want people to see the larger image that is. ;o))
