You can paste the link of the slideshow to the story page, using the Add Picture link. Hope this helps.

Are you sure you're using the correct link? Photobucket offers four, the email/IM link, the Direct link, HTML code link and The IMG code link. It's the Direct link that you need.

Yes, I've tried so many different ways and every link there is but it still will not work. Usually with pictures, the direct link works, but somehow for the slideshow, it says the link isn't valid or something like that. Even after trying it several different times on different days in case it was just buggy for a couple of hours or something, I still get nothing. Is it possible to fix this? Thanks!

Ok so I figured out what was going wrong:
What I was doing was clicking "view as slideshow" then getting the album link from there, which I now discovered is not the link to a slideshow but just the photoalbum.
Instead of "view as slideshow" I should've clicked "create slideshow" (which I found under tools, I'm not sure if there's an easier way...). The 2 "slideshows" are completely different from each other.
The reason I figured this out is because of the new help article Wattpad linked to when you're adding photos, so thanks it was very helpful! (the link you had before, not so much...)

Hey, what if my slideshow is on Picnik? I've copied the link, pasted it on the tab under photos..Sigh*, it doesn't work. Shows the tiny icon I hate to see!

Jcsweetie, show me the link you're using. Chances are it's not direct.
Tigurl again, show me the link you're using. And, I'm not sure non-photbucket links work (which is a shame, since I hate PB with a passion =])

@TiGurl24 - Totally agree with you. I tried making a slideshow on Picnik but it doesn't work. Only the icon with 2 tiny blue circles and a red circle on a tiny paper background. The icon I hate, too. >.<

mgedwards, I diagree. A story is MUCH better without pictures. A writer should be good enough to paint a picture in a readers head with only words.

It never worked for me, which is a shame because I post great travel photos (see www.scribd.com/m_g_edwards). It would be nice, but after trying different methods for a couple of weeks, I gave up. It's not user error...the Photobuck/Wattpad link is buggy. Wattpad readers will have to settle for a nice cover photo and text or visit me over at Scribd.

You can do it! *supportive shout* just follow the steps above your message

I'm with you, mgedwards. It takes a lil snoop work on the tabs in photoshop.
1. In Photobucket Go to Albums.
2. Look for the set of tabs directly beneath that (blue tabs at top of page) The last tab is Tools.
3. Click Tools
4. Choose "Create Slideshow". (Apparently View Slideshow is useless for this purpose.)
5. Follow the three steps to create show. After step 3 It offers you the http link on the right side of page.
