Can't paste the link from photo bucket onto forum

[Ernies mum]

I've read the instructions for uploading a pic .... Photo is in my library on photo bucket , says tap to copy the link which I have done( I'm doing it on my iPhone as don't have any other devices ), but I can't see an option to paste the link ... Help !!

[Ernies mum]

Now getting frustrated , I've worked out how to paste the link and have put it between these and tried it in test post but all that appears is a small outlined box .... Help I'm rubbish at this and really want to share my pics of ernie  !!!

I'm not sure it's possible to do this on iphones/ipads which is probably why you're having problems. Hopefully other iphone users will be along to confirm whether this is the case.

No I'm on my ipad and it's easy.
The SHARE LINK you need to copy and paste is the IMG one including the brackets ( that is make sure everything in the box has been copied to paste) these are on the right of the page once you have selected which photo you want to use.

you may be having trouble getting it to copy or to copy in its entirety because the box on your iPhone is so small so try enlarging that area you know with a pinch move if that make sense.

[Mandy and Teddy]

Sorry just to clarify when you hit to copy you actually have to wait until it is highlighted and then click on the copy which will appear above highlighted link.

Yes, it's easier on iPad than on computer! I'm going to assume that it's the same on the iphone - I don't have the app on mine because I always use the iPad instead but this is how the iPad works: Touch the little i in a circle that appears when you open a photo. It's on the LH side at the bottom. A list of links will open. Touch the bottom one that says IMG and it should turn green and say link copied. Come into COL and hold your finger on your post and select paste when it appears. A long link will be pasted but when you preview it you should see a picture.

Thanks everyone after a botched 1st attempt there are now 2 pics of ernie in the puppy photo section .... Who knew it could be so easy  !!!

Sorry I can't work this out. I've got an iPad and I've transferred my photos to photo bucket but there's no little i in a circle. Have I missed something?

[Archie bean]

Have you downloaded the photo bucket app? When you have signed in to your account, your photos should be there automatically, you don't need to to transfer them yourself. If you select a photo from your library (by touching it) the photo will open and the i is at the bottom on the left.

Here's a screenshot from my ipad, hoping it helps.
You need to go to the IMG link shown on the right, select all ( this can be a bit tricky and I enlarge it to I can click at the very beginning to make sure you do select ALL) then copy.
Then just paste in the forum

[Archie bean]

That's using safari I think. The app is a bit different. There's no i in a circle if you use the web.
This is what you see from the app



And this, when you touch the i



I find it much easier from the app because I'm not great with technology! 

[Mandy and Teddy]

Yes sorry that's what it looks like from the webpage

Archie bean, my iPad app for Photobucket looks different from yours? This is mine:



(1 downloads the photo to your ipad, 2 gives you the image links)

[Archie bean]

Wow! that is different. Thinking about it I think mine might be the iphone app. Searching my memory I seem to recall downloading the iPad app when I got it but finding it wasn't as easy as the phone one so I deleted it and stuck with the phone version. I could be making that up of course!!!

Thank you all very much for this! What a helpful forum this is. I didn't realise there was a photo bucket app. I'll digest all this info and then I'm looking forward to sharing some photos
