Have tried to upload bamboo photos from Kodak Gallery and Yahoo photos on forum posts without success. Is there a some other photo storage site that works? Rgds

I use Photobucket. I have never had any problems with them.

Thanks. I downloaded a picture to photobucket. I clicked the box under the picture then clicked the box for image/url. I then chose chose the image without thumbnail option. I went to the bambooweb site and did a test. I selected the img box and typed in the image string for my picture.
I then went to submit. The string for the image came up but no picture. Cld use some help. Rgds - Fred

First off there is an intermittent problem with using the IMG Code on bambooweb. There is a post about it here: http://bambooweb.info/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2092

Here is how I typically insert pics... I upload the picture to Photobucket, and then just click on the IMG code box below the picture (clicking on the box automatically copies the code into your buffer).

Then paste the code into your post (ctrl-v).

Ok, since IMG Code seems to be flaky at the moment the same thing works with HTML Code, but that removes Bill's auto resize code...
