Hi i was wondering how you post pin pictures links from pinpics, if you get what i mean. Im quite new to all this so im unsure of what to do.

Thanks
Sean
 
Hi Sean, I find that the best way is as follows:

Start or reply to a thread - click on the "Go Advanced" button, then

Type in your text - when finished open a separate window or tab for Pinpics & find the pin

Open up the relevant pin detail, right click the picture & select "Properties" another small window will open - on here highlight the full URL e.g. http://www.pinpics.com/img/p1616/pin80841 & hit the Ctrl & C buttons at the same time

Switch back to your thread on the DPF & select the "Insert Image" button

Another smaller window will open - select the "From URL" tab, click in the URL: field & hit Ctrl & V buttons at the same time (this will paste the URL link!)
Remove the tick from the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" by clicking in the box

Click on insert image & your picture should appear in your thread/post!!

Let me know if this works!
