I am apparently not as internet savvy as I originally thought... I cannot for the life of me get a picture of my girls into my introduction thread in the welcome folder... I tried uploading images, inserting images, embedding images, and tried to follow the instructions to get instagram photos to post.. and none worked.. Either nothing happened at all, or i got a broken image picture or just a link posted instead of a photo.. What am I doing wrong?

You need a photosharing site like photobucket, tinypic or imgur. Upload a photo there and copy/paste the url/img link onto your post. old school, i know but it works.

Is that really all I have to do? Just copy and paste the link... and the picture will show up?? I haven't been on a forum this style in around... 15 years lol! It's making my brain hurt! Thanks unclejoe!

One small note...when you copy your picture then go to the icon that says insert image. Bottom row third from the left. When you click on the icon a box comes up which says insert image: delete the http:// and paste your image in. then when you post it, it will show up.

What am I doing wrong? Okay, so I'm assuming you followed my instructions on how you can embed instagram photos/videos. (listed at the end of my first comment) Those are perfect if you find that normal URL's aren't automatically embedding. First, Is your instagram on private? If it is set to private, embedding photos/videos from instagram onto the forum may not work. Secondly, if you followed my instructions, did you remove the spaces for the codes? You can also use your link from Instagram on your browser. If that fails, you would need to change it around so that it does embed. Example below. (Minus spaces) >>> http:// Instagr .am /p/BAd2BfmPwhp/ <<< Here is a normal instagram link (with spaces to stop the embedding lol): https:// www. instagram .com /p/BHbNlm9jESf / To make sure it works, click on the "BBCode" when you're creating your post, then back to "Preview." It should come up with saying "Your Instagram embed will appear here after you post..." http://instagr.am/p/BHbNlm9jESf
