Was there an error message?

Russ, I have had 2 minor glitches with my Photobucket account in the last week, but just now posted 2 photobucket pics on your sunflower thread...no problems now. I also have an upgraded account, but don't know if that makes any difference. Good luck with this problem, whatever it is.

I have yet to figure out the new photobucket protocols.

I did have to do a song-and-dance for the downloads, and one can't copy and paste the img like one used to.
I don't know what changed...they just made it more difficult.

I pretty much use mine every day, and nothing has changed... other than the link to CUSTOMIZE YOUR UPLOAD OPTIONS is now at the top of the upload box instead of the bottom where it was hard to see... So no excuse Pompano and Bryan McKenzie for your 1000+ pixel wide images just posted!! :lol:

Udo, I just clicked on the IMG link, and here iot is for one of my album images:



Here's another (Ken Cooke in a pole shadow on the Pole Line Road of 1942):

Can you upload pictures from PICASA I dont have Photo Bucket :?::?:

You can put pictures on Nomad from any other site using the IMG tags on each side of the image url [img] and [/img]. The photo hosting site will usually provide you with a link for direct posting on forums.

HERE is my Photobucket how to:

For Nomads who have been posting too big photos on Nomad... Doug has asked (and those with standard 15" monitors appreciate) to limit the pixel width to a max. of 800.

The sizing is done when you upload photos TO Photobucket from your PC. So, if you didn't do that already... and they are at the full size setting, they will stretch the Nomad pages wide (on normal monitors).

How to resize them with Photobucket, on your album page:

1) Click the red button 'UPLOAD' at the top of the Photobucket page.

2) At the top of the Upload box that appears, see (in small blue text): 'Customize your upload options', and click that.

3) Choose a reduced size. 640x480 is nice for most photos. I usually only go to the 800x600 size for maps for max. detail on Nomad.

4) At the bottom, click 'SAVE'! Thats it!!!

Now, until you change that setting, all photos will be uploaded to Photobucket at whatever reduced size you picked!

To post your photos on Nomad, use your mouse and copy the link called 'IMG Code', below the photo you want to show... and paste it onto Nomad where you type in your text... You can post several photos at a time, but I suggest not more than a dozen, and double space between each phot link. Specially if you add some captions under each photo.
