Back when I had photobucket before they made it paid only. I’d just do the image code or insert image and past the address and it’d show up in the post. Now it just says image and shows nothing so I have to post link and have people click it. Is there any way to fix this.

Photo bucket sucks now. Ever since they made it a paid site, they charge you for third party hosting so only way to share photos from there is if you pay for membership there or otherwise the photo will not show on websites you post the link to. So you would have to find another photo site that allows you to do it for free.


www.imgur.com is a free third party hosting site. I use it all the time and there is www.tinypic.com. I would recommend those.

Just has a box with the word image inside it.

I took your photo and right clicked, copied image address place it in the image icon above.

But it appears you maybe using a mobile device and that maybe part of your problem. Personally, I use a paid private image host for most of my images because it strips all types of geotags from my hosted photos.

You didn't link to the image. You linked to an imgur page.

You need to make sure that your link ends with .jpg (or similar)

So I guess imgur doesn’t give direct links anymore, so what’s a photo hosting site that’d give me the appropriate links. I solely use image hosting sites to post on forums so if they don’t work for thst they useless.

Right click on the image and click "copy image location" or similar.

Another method is to right click, click "view image" or similar, and then copy the URL.
