As far as I can see on Photobucket You need to 'copy' the IMG code (see the Image Links panel and just click on the [IMG]http://blahblah.....[IMG]) and then paste it in your message (right click - paste or Ctrl/V) . Perhaps you need to set your photo as 'Public' first though to avoid the not permissable message. That would be needed on FlickR which is what I use.

I just experimented with a random public photo of some bike on Photobucket and at least as a 'Preview' it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the replies. I have ,I think , managed to upload two photos which might help. This is my first time so if it is not working please let me know.
Thanks again

Not quite.

It seems that with FlickR these days you have to use the 'BBCode' from a specific image in this version of phpBB. You only need the first bit between

Code: Select all

So just this :

Code: Select all
