Can't Upload A Picture

[Caprichoso]

Tried to attach a file several times to a topic and I can't put a picture up. Each time it says, "bad gateway". Tried also to add a photo from the full editor, it won't let me do that either. Help please!

the best way is to create an account on photobucket or imageshack then just copy and paste the im g tag to put the picture in your post

Thanks, I'll try that...I take it since you're telling me this, that this forum photo upload thing doesn't work?

Yeah, so I tried that too. It says it "copied" the photo when I clicked it and it turns yellow but I cannot paste it. So I typed it but it just pastes words, no pictures. Like really? Why is this so complicated?
Now I have a pointless photobucket account.

What's stopping you paste it? You are right clicking in the section where you type as in when your typing your message right click & paste?

Hey look, a picture of my dog I uploaded to photobucket, I wanna paste him onto the forum.

Hmm what to do.
I think I'll click here:

"Copied"? Oh thank you very much.

Now I'm on the forum, what now?
A-ha, right click and...

Post and... TADA.

What if I use ImageShack instead of Photobucket?
How will I upload my lovely art I did in Microsoft Paint to the internet and share with my buddies on the forum?

Well here we go.

Here's my art, impressed?

Right, off to image shack we go.

Clicky browse to find my brilliant image

Got it!

And lets GO

Click here, so it's all highlighted.

Copy time!

Now back to the forum...

Hello again Mr. Paste

And here we are, my beautiful arts:

btw, to upload from photobucket, do not click the image code - copy the "direct link", then come on here, click the photo icon "insert image", paste the "direct link" into here and then you will be all set.

Yes and no, you don't want the direct code if you want to paste it quickly, let me show you why:

What you copy from 'Direct Link': http://www.blahblah.com/lovelypicture.jpg

What you copy from 'Image Link': [img]http://www.blahblah.com/lovelypicture.jpg[/img]

You see the difference? Those [ img ] bits.
When you copy the direct link and use the 'insert image' button, all it does is add those [ img ] bits, so what you recommend is actually LONGER and easier to stuff up.

P.S. would you mind editing your post so people don't get confused. Your solution is an alternative, but not the only way.
