Here's the latest one, with img expanded so the text appears

This needs to be url, not a location on your computer or phone.

Weird.
One more time? From photobucket

Charles, just copy the web image address into the post and then click on the photo icon. It does the rest if this post works

The url to the page that has the photo and not the photo itself was used.

It looks like photobucket has an easy linking mode that can be turned on that will help you with getting links directly to images: https://support.photobucket.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056545931-Easy-Linking-Mode-for-mobile-browsers

I see that the "Easy Link" requires a premium subscription, about $100/year more than my current PB subscription. Will have to ponder if it is worth it.

@Charles Hunter, it's a change in how these photo hosting sites work. They don't want to host images for third party forums anymore.

See https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-40492668

Also:

QuoteAmazon Photos does not allow third-party hosting for images; it is primarily designed for personal storage and sharing within Amazon's ecosystem. For embedding images on forums or other websites, you would need to use a different service that supports third-party linking.

Try something like https://postimages.org/ or https://imgbb.com/.

*sigh*

I vaguely remember this transition, and my recollection is that I signed up for the least expensive service that would allow 'hosting.'

Wait! I found the "media" tab.
Will this work?
Drumroll ....

Okay. I just paste the PhotoBucket quick line into my comment, without the IMG brackets. Woo!

Love the new forum layout.
