OK, my computer went out so I had to get a new one. My email is still the same and I have my photobucket.

Now the only problem is, I can't seem to insert any images like I used to off my photobucket.

1. I pick an image and left click it in Direct Link to Copy.

2. I click the image icon to paste but.....

a sign pops up before I can even paste it saying, "Error: You didn't write the image URL." :(

If the computer is running Vista its probally a network error. Run Windows Update and use firefox if possible.

It's not on Vista.

It's XP.

Does it do it with all the different photobucket tags? If so, it may be the comp.

You said you got it new with XP? I'm assuming you mean used, but new to you. It may be a setting thats in windows, if so, take it back to wherever you got it and let them know. Any reputable computer shop will understand you just got the darned thing and want it to work.

Also make sure it's completly up to date with windows update, you can do that at update.microsoft.com

I don't know what the problem is, but if you aren't currently using Firefox as your web-browser I recommend that you start using it. If you download Firefox it will most likely fix your problem and you'll be using a better web-browser, so you can't really go wrong.

Never tried Seamonkey before, but a newb should probably use Firefox instead.

Yeah, she does post a lot.

An analogy...

Firefox is to Seamonkey like Vista is to XP.


I.e. in each case, the former looks prettier, but an upgrade to the later is so much more comfortable.

sometimes I have trouble posting pictures, the picture above is posted through firefox.
Perhaps if you type and them paste your picture in between ][.
