In Photobucket, if you right click on the picture and then hit "copy image url" then in your post you have to paste that image url between


On my Photobucket page I have the view such that there are 4 link boxes below each pic. In this case you can just click on and copy the "IMG code" and the brackets are already there for you.

You can crop pics in the Photobucket edit section and also resizing the pic so it's not so huge in your post will save on Photobucket bandwith requirements.

Here's how I did it.

1 - go to link you provided.
2- On the right of the photo, there's a heading titled "Direct Link." Click on the text next to that heading. This effectively copies the direct address of the photo. It's the same as highlighting it and hitting control and C.
3 - When you create a post, there is an icon with a little picture of a mountain and sun. It's called "insert image." Click on it. It will ask you "Please enter the URL of your image." Paste the URL you copied earlier into the box. Hit OK and it will create the HTML tags for you around the URL you provided.

There are multiple ways to do it, but this is a relatively easy way.

The only way to post pictures from your computer is to attach them to the post or upload them to a website like photobucket. When you write a post, there's a way to attach photos to the post.

1- go to the full post screen, not the quick reply screen.
2 - down below the text box will be a button called "manage attachments." Click on it.
3- You will then have to browse and find the photos on your computer. You can attach up to 7, but they have to be small. Then click "upload."
4- submit the post. The photos should now be attached to the post.

I attached a photo to this post to show you how it will look.

I have posted many pictures in the past from my computer to the thread. The last weel or so I have been unable to post pictures from my computer. And until today I was unable to post pictures from my photo bucket account.

Sometimes I'll try to add a pic from my computer and it will say that the upload failed, other times it uploads just fine. When it fails, my fix is to go the photo on my computer, click edit, then "re-size" it to 90%......I don't know why this works, but it does.
