HELP: I CAN'T POST FULL-SIZED PICS...

I'm preparing my next thread and I'd like to put 2 full-sized pics in it. I followed the instructions of Rules and FAQ (HOW DO I POST FULL-SIZED PICS?), but when I preview the post, I see a little red x instead of pic. Any ideas about what should I do to fix this?
Thanks.

 

Oh, i forgott... I had the same problem when I was trying to edit my signature. That's why there are only letters in there.

 

1st tell us which imagehost u use
try imagevenue.com there are 2 ways i know:
a)after u have uploaded a pic click on it so u dont see all the codecs just the pic and copy the adress/url...now go to phun where u want to post it and click on the yellow icon..there u have to add the link
b)after uploading search the "direct link to image" and add it to phun...seems easier huh?

 

I use ImageVenue too. Thanks for help, but I'm still facing the same problem. By the way, after uploading the pic there are 3 options:
1) Share with Friends via eMail or Instant Messanger
2) Hotlink a clickable thumbnail on a Forum or Message Board!
and 3) Hotlink a clickable thumbnail on any Website or Auction!
I've tried them all...

 

i dont want to post fullsized pics
i always use #2
but if u want to post a fullsized one try my first point mentioned above
can u post the thumbnail here? and i try to post the fullsized version of it

 

That's because none of those are a direct link to the image. You need the direct link. If you use firefox, go to the link where it says "Share with Friends via eMail" and right click on the image when you get to that page. Then click "Properties" and under "Image Properties" it will say the direct link to the image. If you use IE, right click on the image, go to properties and it will say the direct link under "URL"

Some image hosts do give you the direct link and it saves some time and confusion that way, but unfortunately for you, imagevenue isn't one of those hosts.

 

I tried the first too. Here are the thumbs...

http://img21.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-29101/loc234/438_2.jpg

There is the direct link for both, if you paste those links into IMG code, it will work.

 

works?

 

u have to change something as leonard said
click on the thumbnail and dont copy the address/url
right click on the image and click "copy graphic/image address"
i dont know the english expression..got the german firefox :X
then go back to phun and click on the yellow icon...add the link there...DONE

 

There they are, just to prove to you it works.

 

thats strange...sometimes i can see them and sometimes they disappear ^
i see no pic in ur post leonard hm...

 

I think it's just imagevenue being homosexual. They worked a minute ago, and now they don't work.

 

That's strange indeed. I can't see them - I see the little red x instead once again... Maybe a moderator could help. Thanks for your help both of you anyway.

 

Only the second one I'm afraid...

 

np...if it doesnt work use another host...like rapidshare.se or the one i use in my sig
posting is the same

 

Ok I'll try rapidshare.se. Which one did u use for your signature?

 

he uses imgzhost.com which what I use for my sig as well.

 

Thanks a lot dude. Imgzhost.com is working!!!

 

I find Filecloud the best for hosting full size pics. Sign up for a free account and you get 25mb of free space to upload files and images onto. You are able to create folders and sub folders, add and delete files etc.

Just make sure that you make your folders "Public" and your images "Public" when you upload them. It also works best with Firefox. Just hover your mouse cursor over your uploaded image and click "view" to get the url of your file. Copy and paste it with IMG tags in your post.
I've never had a single image not show properly in all the months I've been using it and images I uploaded months ago are still live. They won't die unless you delete them.
