Pics

How do I add a picture to a post?

I see the "Insert Image" button, but if I have pictures saved to my desktop, what would the URL be?

You have to start up a Photobucket account (or the equivalent) otherwise you won't be able to post pics.

You CAN upload pictures from your desktop, but they have to be within certain guidelines size of picture (pixels) and size of file. When you try to upload the uploader will tell you what those guidelines are. As a supporting member, those restrictions are different.

A file on your desktop has NO url in terms of how it would apply to displaying on talkbass. To use a URL you would have to have something like photobucket

yes photo bucket is the most reliable option. i have used it myself to post various pics on forums. Two thumbs up for it.

Photobucket | download Pictures, download Images, download Photos

here you can download a free version from here.

Signed up for a Photobucket account. Uploaded some images. Tried a variety of ways to embed into forum posts. Get nothing but broken image icons. I clicked the image icon in the tool bar and pasted the URL from the selected photobucket image. No luck. What am I doing wrong?

It looks like you got it working?

unfortunately photobucket got a lot less forum friendly after that post was written in 2012, these days I'd probably use flickr

Now you can use the "upload a file" button, very handy! You can still link to files already on the internet with the image button.

Edit: maybe it's only for supporting members, since the OP was (or is) a guest
