I''ve been noticing that there are users who are trying to link to pictures that have been opened up/ viewed in Internet Explorer from their hard drives. You cannot copy and paste that info as a URL as it is still on the hard drive! An example of what some users have been trying is linking to "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/My%" directly from their harddisk. The picture will not show up because Pricescope cannot access your harddisk to open up the file.

You can only copy and paste URL info when the photo has been saved onto the internet through a pricescope attachment or from some other picture-hosting site. An example of an appropriate URL would be "http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/files/abc.jpg" or "http://www.abcde.com/picture.jpg".

I hope this clarifies things abit!!

Thanks, tomatoe, for the tip. But I'm confused as to how people just copy and paste photos. Nisstar says that is how she got hers to load. (On her "help" post on this page.) She says "Thanks....after hours of trying I finally figured out I could just open the pics in internet explorer and then just simply copied and pasted." But you say that is not possible?

I do understand that a photo must be hosted on the internet and that Pricescope hosts photos from our files.

I always attach photos from my files by using the "attach file" link above. Is there another way?

Am I just confusing things?

Patty, if you notice from the time she posted that initial message (9.28pm) and the time she finally was able to post pictures (10.18pm), she was told by Katbadness to attach the pictures onto Pricescope, which she ended up doing.

What you are doing is correct and not confusing things at all! /idealbb/images/smilies/3.gif


Another tip is: If a photo has already been uploaded onto the internet, by pressing the button that looks like a mountain, you will be able to add in a link that allows you to post more than one picture into the same reply. /idealbb/images/smilies/5.gif

An example of what it will look like is this but without the spaces at the start and the end of the <>

(edited to add)




I just remembered why I was doing it that way. I tried posting them the first time and uploaded them succesfully but I messed up on the post and it didn't show up. When I tried to repost I tried to do it the same way but it kept saying that there was an error and I couldn't find the url where the pictures were uploaded to PS. I still can't find them. I did search through the help posts but I couldn't find anything related to finding them once they were on here (but it may be that I just haven't found it yet). I tried finding them through your example of "http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/files/abc.jpg" or http://www.abcde.com/picture.jpg" but they don't show up that way either. I think I'm just going to retire from posting pictures /idealbb/images/smilies/sad.gif

Ok, I think I figured it out...




I clicked the mountain button and at the top I typed in /www.pricescope.com/idealbb/files/filename.jpg">. The pictures show up on my end as before but I still don't know if they're showing up on everyone else's end or not.
