Bigwuhead

I can't seem to get PIP right.  Can someone who can succesfully do it, give me some ideas, tips or pointers?  I usually go through shutterfly, i've tried tinyurl, i've tried everything... and I have to awesome pics I want to show you ladies.TIA

Sometimes I have a hard time too.  I think the key is, after you cut and paste your tiny url into the [img]*tiny url*[/img] highlight the whole thing and then Bold the whole thing.  Don't forget to delete the stars.  GL.

I always had a hard time with cutting and pasting so I just type it in: [img]http://tiny.cc/TINYURL Here[/img] Hope this helps.

Oops.  I meant [*url]tinyurlhere[*/url]

Oh shoot, I think it thought I was trying to post a pic.You can email me and I can try and help you if you want.

I dont even bother with the tinyurls. You have to make sure (after your pic is posted) to right click, go to properties, and get the URL from there.Then type in [*img] url here [*/img] without the stars and you should be good. Make sure not to press space after the url before [*/img]. The url will turn blue (or clicky), and show up as a link, not as an image.Hope it helps!

Question for the people helping (and thanks Bigwuhead for posting this b/c I need help too!) - does it matter what photo service you use?

Hey Mel,I have used different ones, and it worked everytime. I used shutterfly, weebly, facebook - i think as long as the image is posted online and you copy the URL under properties (not in the address bar), it should work!

I had such a hard time learning it last week, but Shelli got me through it. I upload my pics to photobucket, it makes the url for you, then I copy the url and past it into www.tinyurl.com. I take the shortcut it makes and type it into the formula and put it in my post! Once I figured it out, it was easy. Shelli walked me through it on the chat area of fb, so if you need to I can do that for you. jenniferosa at hotmail dot com.
