Post by: Bentley on September 05, 2017, 04:37:42 PM: I guess I am not sure what you are asking? It is trying to download a picture? Where is the picture? You would need to move the photo back on to your computer from photobucket to attach it to this site. Or another hosting site, then use link like old days. You can load one from your computer directly to this site, but it has to be on your computer to do it.

Post by: ZCZ on September 05, 2017, 04:45:45 PM: I've been using the method posted here: https://pelletfan.com/index.php?topic=160.0

Can take photos right from my camera roll on my iPhone. No more uploading to a 3rd party. Works great.

Post by: zephyr on September 07, 2017, 03:12:17 AM: It was with my pictures and didn't look like a video, just showed a picture, like the rest of them. I transferred all my pictures from Photo Bucket back over to my computer. Thanks Bentley and Lowslowfoshow for all your help.
