This is an attempt to help members use Photobucket to aid in posting pictures in the forum. Photobucket it a picture hosting tool that is easy to use once you master it.

Start by going to Photobucket.com

It's easy and FREE to create an account. Just fill out your info and your on your way.

Log in using your username and password you have created.

To upload a picture from your computer click browse and a window will open. Using this window find the picture you want to add to your Photobucket archives. Click on the pic of your choice and click Submit.

After the upload is complete, Scrool down and highlight the IMG tag. Right click it and select 'copy'.

In the forum while making your post, move the curser to where you want your picture.

Right click again and select 'Paste' from the dropdown. The Photobucket URL will appear in the post.

Finish your post and submit it as usual. Your pic will apear

There are more things you can do at Photobucket like uploading a batch of photos a once. This is a time saving tool I like to use. Also checking the boxes of multiple pictures and clicking 'Generate HTML and IMG Codes' you can copy the whole batch at once.

Play arround with it. I hope this will help you.

Great job Jackalope. I think this will be very usefull for everyone. I will add one thing... Be sure to resize your pictures before selecting them with photobucket. 640x480 or smaller is a good range. Anything larger can lag dial-up users and may not be viewable on a smaller screen.
Good Luck and thanks again Jack!

:bowdown: That was long overdue! That should answer a lot of questions. I will need to do the same for attaching photos to your posts which is more useful for trailhunters being they have unlimited upload space.
