Topic: Photobucket pics not displaying

I've read and responded to the BB Codes thread and have tried everything I can think of, but I can not get pics from my own Photobucket account to post on here. I have the album setting to "public" and have tried every link code option (ie copy and paste) from there, but all I get showing up on here is a thumbnail that says "Photo Not Found. Click Here To View", but it's a dead link.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

We have a thread here in help if you want to post one there and let me know I will look at it and see.. I know at times I have to edit some of my photobucket pics to get them to post.

But if they are not your pictures and someone else instead they may have them blocked from posting on other sites or have deleted the original.

You removed your samples in that thread
so we cannot suggest a fix.

If you lay out what you have tried..

First thing is ..that's HTML code.
And your trying to link It to another IP server .

It can be alowed by the Admin ..but is not . ( don't ask why :wink: )

Use the BBC code outlined.

First one was done using the BB code. Even typed "img" in lower case letters. The rest of the links were long shot attempts.

Anytime you get that pic it is due to that picture can no longer be posted. Many times the Original pic was deleted or you no longer have access to it if you downloaded it to your pictures from somewhere else..

Try another pic you know that is still a good link to post.


The pic is from my own Photobucket account. It was uploaded there two days ago. I have checked all the Photobucket settings, but it will not show up on this site.

best thing is to just use the bare Image-Url,and then use the Image-Code provided by Mingle!

I went to your link and saw the pic of the bulldog looks like on the back of a bike for some reason it still comes up that the link is no good.

Is this a pic that you took?


This is one from my Photobucket just used the Img link they give you.. But I take off the url in front and behind to get it to post here.





If you quote this and look at it you will see what I leave in order to get it to post here from Photobucket...

Hmmm... you might be on to something there. I'll upload it to a different album and try again.

seems there are some elements in the URL that probably prevent the Image from showing up!
Like those %20.

I think the issue is the naming of your photos, and album names as well.

if you're photo or album name has a space in it the url will translated that space into % 20 or even a + sign. It does the same thing with special characters this is done for security purposes on photobuckets site.

Try this create a album with one word...example "mingle"...then upload a pic to it with one word example "test" and try to post that

(FYI: Small or large caps (img or IMG) makes
no difference in the code.)

You can edit it at PB for size, too.

Pic was worth waiting for :-)
