Off topic, but is that a model of the Bertram building in S.Ont. Doc ? If so, rekindles some very old memories.

Wayne, I WAS using the "IMG" line in Photobucket...

Just to see if there's a difference... The one below is from the IMG THUMB

This picture is of the office I made from a retired boxcar. In BOTH cases, the line after the picture link, the text shows up as a link. Oh, and thanks, Garry.

Marlon, which line are you copying from photobucket?  Your text is actually a link to the picture in photobucket, too.

This one is the img line placed using the link option here:

 

...and this just the img line pasted in:

 

Just testing to see what shows up. Smile, Wink & Grin

Hi Marion ..... I clicked on the link and saw other photos in you PohotoBucket account.

By the way, I like the office made from a retired boxcar.

To try to answer a couple of responses:

  • Doctorwayne - ALL of my pictures have a new line between the link and the text.
  • Bogp40 - All of my photos come from my Photobucket account. I also noticed that the text is blue.

Here is what I noticed; If I copy the photo link AFTER I type the description, the description appears right. If I type the description AFTER the link, it appears as a link.

Don't have that issue w/ posting from Photbucket, however all script typed after posting pics shows up in blue.

I have the same problem.  It is just one of the many bugs in the new software.  I am wondering if they will get them all fixed before the next time that they rewrite to forum for no apparent reason.

Perhaps, the tech gurus can explain this one. I do have this problem when I post photos. The link goes to my photo bucket account. Now, I write all of my text and then post the photos.

 

While we are at it......  Whaat hapened to spel checck?

Hmm.  I like adding lots of pictures and haven't encountered that problem.


I wonder if not leaving a space between the picture data (which is a link) would create that situation.


...or if the picture data was on the same line as the text, like this

 

EDIT:  Well, none of those attempts show the words as links.  How are you placing the photos in your posts?  Mine are from photobucket, and I simply click on the line of img data there, then "paste" it into the composition window by placing the cursor where I want the picture to appear.

In the previous edition of the forums, it was simple to add text describing images. Now, when I add descriptive text, it shows up as a link, instead of as simple text. Is there a way to add the text without it appearing as a link.
