Please review our Image Posting Rules before attaching or embedding pictures in your posts:

If you want to put up a gallery outside of POTN, and maybe link to your photos from here:

You'd like one of those really cool avatars, but can't get the picture right (this also tells you how to resize images for regular posting):

Try Photobucket, or another free site.
1/ Upload the pics.

2/ View the 'full size" pic. If there's a (+) in your mouse pointer, click the image again so it's at full size. (Max 1280 pixels on either side.)

3/ Rt-click on it & select "Copy Image Location. Come back to your thread, click on the yellow icon at the top of the "Post New Thread" box & paste the link into the dialog box. You'll get something like this:
[IMG]image URL[/IMG]

If you're linking to more than one image, hit <Return> once to put some space between the images:
[IMG]image URL 1[/IMG]

[IMG]image URL 2[/IMG]

Thats it.

THANKS for all the great responses!! That works for the main photo on an e-bay auction (the gallery pic). What I want to do is put photo's in the area where I write my description, and using [IMG]image URL[/IMG] will NOT work in that area, this is what a Photobucket photo link looks like:

<a href="http://photobuck​et.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobu​cket.com/albums/y63/Ca​lindy/IMG_9356ADOPTION​2007.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

How can I make the post a photo for Zenfolio?? The link is below, but will not work in the description area.

Code for embedding your photo in POTN's posts:
