Posting Picts from Photobucket

I can not post a pict from Photobucket. I have tried all of the different options in Photobucket but done of them work. When I paste them into the Manage Attachments window I get invalid file errors. Can anybody help me with this? I have searched and can't find any answer.

These are the different options to copy the pict file from Photobucket - can you tell me which one I should use?

Share by email & IM (view on Photobucket website)

Direct link for layout pages (MySpace backgrounds and custom websites)

HTML for websites & blogs (MySpace, Hi5, Orkut, Friendster, eBay & more)
Full size
Clickable thumbnail
IMG for bulletin boards & forums
Full size
Clickable thumbnail
Flash for websites & blogs (includes the tags you've added)

I have tried them all without success but if I knew which one was correct I could a least concentrate on that one. I am having the same problem with another forum (Glocktalk.com) which I think uses the same BBS software.
I try this every couple of months and get frustrated and give up.
Thanks!

ok first of all you can do this, its very easy.

go to the pic you want to use and show us, when you scroll over the thumbnail pic with your mouse a bunch of codes should pop up under it, go the the IMG code, left click to highlight it, then right click and hit the copy option, then come over here to this forum and paste the IMG code into the reply box.......thats it

The Direct link. 2nd one down. Click the picture link above your posting and it will bring up a dialog box post the link the pic in there. Works for me.

The easiest way from photobucket is like Anubiss says just hoover over the direct link in photobucket with your cursor, it will auto copy the link, then come back to the post you're making here then click on this button

and paste the photo bucket link into the bar then click o-k, then you can preview your post to see the picture.

Ol skool's way is actually the fastest you just must have these code bars on each end. [img] [/img] the link to your picture is what goes in between these.

Also there's one other way and that is to upload directly from your computer, you can do this by using the Additional Options below your reply box and use the attach files, these load as thumbnails, you cannot see these until you make the post, I just posted a random pic I browsed from my computer, I'm sure you have seen them in folks posts in the forum.
