So what am I doin wrong?

[jimoshel]

You have all seen some of my previous posts and sig. Good pics. You can see my current sig. Garbage. I can post a good pic and then do the very same thing a minute later and junk. I use PBucket. Also I tried to use the chat room. It says I'm signed in. Others have said they saw me enter. But there is no dialogue box where I can see what others are saying or where I can type in. I'm being prejudiced against. Gonna go eat a worm. Jim

Your signature is an address on your computer. You have to upload it to photobucket, and hotlink it from there.

I really don't know why the chat won't work for you... we've seen you log in before, just never talked. Do you have all your Java and stuff updated?

I had that problem uploading pics from PB also if I selected the (img) deal-a-bob when trying to post. Finally found out if I didn't bother to use img and just hit paste it works fine. Hope you understand that. :doh:

The thing with photobucket is they give you too many links without really explaining it. If you hover over the thumbnail in your album and it gives you the 4 link options, you need to copy the "Direct link" one. That already has the tags, so just paste it in.

I found your PB account,

but your newest pic is: jimoshel/IM000144.jpg,

looks like you were trying to link: IM000151.JPG (still on your PC).

 

Once you upload it, copy the bottom link (IMG Code) listed next to the pic you want, in your Photobucket page.

 

Paste that code directly in your signature, and the pic should show up.

Sometime....you just need a friend to come on over and show you what you are doing wrong. I have had people on the phone, and I could NOT help them until I actually went there and saw what they did wrong.

I haven't done the chat room stuff myself,

but I bet if the OP is having trouble figuring it out, someone could walk him through posting a "screen capture" of what he's looking at, then one of you chat guru's could explain based on the picture.

 

 

FWIW, screen capture:

(on this machine) Fn + Ins = Prt Sc (print screen).

 

Then you open up a page in 'paint', right click "paste", and whatever was on your screen when you hit "print screen" shows up in the picture.

The thing that really bugs me about this is that I'm not entirely computer illiterate. I went to puter maintenance schools courtesy USAF back in 1962. The computer was in a blockhouse occupying an entire city block 3 stories high. The power supply was in the basement,offices, maintenance was first floor storage (memory) was second floor and processing was third floor.After getting out in 65 I went to work as a tech rep to the AF teaching puter maint.I've worked at the missile test site,target site, at Kwajelien, M.I.. as a puter maint tech.I've seen the behometh monster shrink down to a IPod size with a hundred times the memory and speed. So darn it I get frustrated when I can't get something to work. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Spock stopped up the drain? :rotf:

lol...what I'm trying to say is that they have gotten so complicated that there are an incredible number of things that could be wrong.

This writeup was emailed to me a while back. might be of some help.

 

 

This will work for almost any picture on the Internet. First of all, you need to upload your pictures to the Internet. There are a variety of picture hosting sites out there. Shutterfly, Photobucket, etc.....a Google search will bring up many.

 

 

Once you have your picture uploaded and you are viewing it, you need to right-click on the picture and a menu will pop up.

Select "Properties" from the menu:

 

 

 

Once in Properties, highlight the address and copy it:

 

 

 

Now, you come to the forum, and click on the Image button:

 

 

 

You will see the Image tags appear in the body of the message:

 

 

 

Paste the address of the picture that you copied in between the tags:

 

 

 

Click "Submit" and you are done:

You need to use the address for just the picture itself, not that page the pic is on, and IMG tags work much better. Fixed it for ya :thumbsup:
