How to use Photobucket

[Mary Young]

how do you insert photos into these posts

This is what I do:
(1) register at www.photobucket.com (it's free).
(2) upload your photo to the site.
(3) once it's uploaded, you'll see 4 little boxes underneath.
(4) click in the bottom box (which auto-copies the link into your clipboard)
(5) paste (Ctrl+v) into your forum posting.
Voila!

ETA: See #2 below

If you don't see the four boxes that Mary mentions, click on Customise Links and make sure the box that says 'IMG Code for Forums and Bulletin Boards' is checked.

Update: Things have changed a bit since Photobucket 'upgraded' their site.
What you need to copy is still IMG Code for Forums and Bulletin Boards'. If this is not showing below the thumbnail picture, double click on the picture to enlarge it. If the IMG Code is still not showing, click on Link Options and make sure that the box is ticked for 'IMG for Forums and Bulletin Boards' - this is the code you need to copy into your B-G posting.

If you still can't find the Link Options (and admittedly since 'updating' the site recently it appears less user friendly in this regard) then go to My Home, then Account Options and follow Album Settings and then Link Options.
