When I provide a link from my photobucket account and hit "Preview Post", the pic doesn't show. It's not me, my computer, or the link, because I was able to post the same photo on another site using the same method I've been using here in the past. I've tried it several times with no luck.
 
I was able to post pics prior to this. Well, I'm still able to post pics... kinda, but they don't last long. I posted one earlier this evening in a Traditional thread. A couple of hours later, I went back to read the new posts and my pic is now gone, replaced with a reference to an attachment, but no pic. Click on the "attachment" reference and you get a nasty gram.
 
Turns out it was my own fault. I was using the wrong link from Photobucket. Turns out that other site I test-posted on requires one type of Photobucket link, and Bladeforums requires a different Photobucket link. I just got my links confused (don't I feel dumb :foot:). All straightened out now.

Mods, feel free to lock or delete this thread.

EDIT to respond to Esav's post below without bumping this thread back to the top- LOL. It is embarrassing, especially since I have explained to new members how to CORRECTLY post pics :rolleyes: :). Then I go and forget how to do it, DUH. Shows how rarely I post pics.

For the record, I made the mistake of starting my Photobucket picture link with <img src=" and ending it with "> (that's how it's done on a few other forums I'm on) , and the correct way to post a pic here is to begin the link with
.
