I just spent over an hour drafting a post with pics and when I went to preview, stated I was forbidden.

and all was lost in cyber space.

I had used photobucket as even though I resized the pics to 25kb they wouldn't load.???

Bruce will sort you our in the morning Kappy.

I was able to preview this post, but not the other.

Tried again this morning,same result..

I think Photobucket have changed the way they 'operate' now.
Firstly you have to pay to have an account & secondly they won't allow you to hyperlink to a photo on their system.
They want to ensure the people visit the site so they reap the revenue from ad-views.
Why don't you just use the photo album I have provided?? At least you'll know they will stay there at least until I close the forum....... (or my executor does!!)
In the meantime I'll check out your permissions on here.

Yes photobucket had become a real issue for many forums, but it has recently been sold to new owners and is back to it's old self and working fine.
So I doubt it's a photobucket problem in this instance.

Here's one of my recent ones for example.

I discovered the "Forbidden to post on this forum" was a naughty word filter and in my case it was the brand name of the little blue pills. Can't send it in a PM either, but if you back arrow (not sure if your browser program has that NP) the long post is still there, so I just cut and paste to word when that happens and try deleting each word until it works in preview, then I can do a rewrite to get around the problem. Thankfully T1 isn't in the dirty word filter over here

Bernie may I suggest you just post a link to either your Photobucket account or just to the photo you want to show rather than linking to it like you did.
I suspect many won't be able to view it anyway.
A lot of browser block content from 'other sources'.
If you use the facility provided in the forum software it'll reduce server load & allow viewers to only see the bigger size photo if they choose to. I'm about to run out of my monthly data usage so it effects me too.
I may not use much in the next 5 days.... $10 a gig is rediculous.!!

Certainly is, Bruce!
We got stung by Telstra for using 15GB
in 15 minutes coupla months ago.
On ONE BAR of 3G!!!
Wouldn’t believe us that (a) it’s impossible or (b) we were not online at the time.
Had to get TIO involved before they would see reason.

Sorry Bruce,
Didn't realise it had an impact on you.
All the other forums actually prefer to link pics, so i thought here might be the same too.

apologies,
Bernie

I need some guidance on how to use the Photo Album.

Just tried to upload some resized pic and wouldn't allow uploading.
