Posting Photos Problems

Football Fan · #1 04-20-2007, 11:44 PM

Have any of you had problems posting a photo on Greek Chat? I am new and received permission to post a photo on my own GLO site here. On another message board I am able to do this.

Banditone has sent me pages of instructions which I have followed. He has been very helpful to a new poster. However, no matter what I do all I can put on the page is a red X. Obviously, there is something I am doing incorrectly or omitting. Have any of you had this problem? Do any of you have helpful hints or suggestions? I have Windows XP.

Any help you can give me is appreciated....

Your URL is incorrect. Make sure you typed/pasted the URL correctly.

The http:// is showing up twice.

Also, make sure that the site that hosts your photos allows hotlinking. I haven't used Webshots in a long time (they suck,btw), so I wouldn't know if that would be the reason why the pics aren't loading.

Hi,
These were originally webshots and moved to photobucket. I will try a photo that was not from webshots. Now I know what was wrong......one more try...

OTW,
Tried again. This time the photo was not a webshots photo. I used it before to post on another site. This was straight from Photobucket. Oops. It still comes up with the red X.

It's because you have the wrong URL.

http://http://i132.photobucket.com/a...ajoan/usc4.jpg

is what shows up. See the two http://'s?

is what should show up once you correct the URL.

Thanks, OTW.

I will doublecheck that the http is not repeated. The photo has nothing to do with Greek Life, but it is a great picture. I will keep trying.

Tom didn't post in this thread

Do you have permission of the photographer or whoever owns the rights to that photo to post it?
