Hey guys, go back and review John's second reply in this topic, as standard registered members you are only limited in the buttons available on the HTML editor (i.e. Add New Topic, Add Reply, etc.), but this does not prevent you from including pictures in your replies you just have to use the HTML code rather than the UBB/Forum Code tags (i.e. the ones with square brackets [ & ] ). Your current user gategory (e.g. Passanger etc.) is based solely on the number of posted replies you've made.

If you use the 'Add Reply' button instead of the 'Quick Reply' and on Photobucket use the HTML Code field instead of the 'IMG Thumb' field. Then just paste the code into the content area of the MLS editor, yes you'll get the large image (i.e. 1024 x 768) but you'll most likely also get more interest. Your call.

Have you gone back and looked at your previous posted replies? Using the UBB/Forum Code type tags (i.e. the ones with the square brackets [ & ] ) for either images or URL addresses isn't supported in the software, which means that the thumbnail image linked back to your Photobucket album is displayed as text and anyone interested has to copy and paste the URL portion displayed into the address field of a browser window to go back to your Photobucket album.
All I'm saying is if you do the following.
[*] Use the text in the Photobucket 'HTML Code' field that's displayed directly below the thumbnail image of the picture you wish to post when viewing in the album mode.
[*] Then open the MLS HTML editor via the 'Add Reply' button.
[*] Click the 'HTML' button located just below the lower-left corner of the editor's content area.
[*] Then paste the Photobucket copied HTML code in.
[*] Then click the 'Submit' button.
[/list] Then you'll have what you're trying to do work. You can also follow the same procedure described above, while in the image view mode on Photobucket. The only difference is you'll wind up with the 1024 x 768 image displayed instead of the thumbnail, and it will be linked back to your Photobucket album. Note, if you don't switch to the 'HTML' view mode in the MLS editor prior to pasting what you've copied from Photobucket. the image will still display but the hyperlink part will not work.

Use the correct URL address with the proper HTML element tag and it works fine.

Right you are Paul.
There is also an 'Add Reply' button at the top of every topic page too.
The other things are...
[*] He has to be on the Photobucket 'Image View' page where he's viewing a single picture.
[*] Then he has to copy the code in the Photobucket field labeled 'HTML Code:'
And not the one labeled 'IMG Code:' as he has been doing.

While the following isn't one of your pictures it does show the Photobucket page that I refer to and the URL fields. The field pointed to by the arrow labeled #4 is the field you need to point to and in the text area (i.e. where you see the < a at the begining) left-click with you mouse. This will automatically copy the HTML code to you clipboard. Next you need to switch to the browser window where have the MLS HTML editor open in. First make sure you've clicked the HTML button that's located in the lower-left between the Normal & Preview buttons. Next, right-click with your mouse pointer anywhere within the text area of the editor, then select the 'Paste' option on the context menu. If you now click the 'Normal' button your image should be displayed in the editors text area. Lastly click the 'Submit button.'

You've got it John, the only thing you didn't do was switch to the HTML view in the MLS editor before you pasted the code you copied from Photobucket. That's why the picture displayed but the link back to Photobucket doesn't work. But hey you've got the picture there good deal.
