She is a cutie!


Hello Avista, I will try to help. After you save the link, are you pasting the link code directly into your post or are you using the little "tree in a frame" icon in the post tools? I followed your link that was posted and I could see the picture. I copied the Direct Link that is on Photobucket, then used the "tree frame" icon to insert the [IMG] brackets around the link code.

Nothing seems to be working for me but is OK on other forums so not sure what I am doing wrong on here :(

Go ahead and try to post your pictures on to this thread. If it works, great! If it doesn't work, I will try help if I can. Most often the cause of photos not posting is due to someone trying to upload them directly from their computer (for PV, your photo needs to be uploaded online already on a photo sharing site or similar website) OR, sometimes the issue is with privacy settings. For example, if you have your photo set to "private" it may not let you share it. Other than that, it just comes down to getting the photo link correct and making sure it has the [IMG] tags around it.

did this work?

Kardawg: Nope, it didn't display the picture for me.
So, it looks like you are using Google photo, right? When I look at the image link code, and I paste that into a browser, it wants me to log in to my Google account. And even when I'm logged in, it won't display the photo. I've tried Google Photo before and found it kind of tricky for sharing links. If you copy and paste the actual image code (which is what I'm guessing you did) it will display for you, but no one else. I think it has something to do with privacy and "shared albums" but I'm not completely certain. Google offers a way to get a web link to share a picture (click the picture you want, go to the share icon -in the top menu, first icon- choose get link) BUT, that just gives you a website link... if you try to insert it as a picture, it doesn't work...

at least I don't think it does, let me test that here...

here's the link with image tags around it


and here is the link by itself
