I don't want to appear a snivling little lamb BUT I would love post some pictures and printed the instructions provided.
I did the photobucket thing and posted a picture.
The instructions says to type in the very long www.theaddress--------
and the URL of the picture.
I could only GUESS where to type is info and I guess I was wrong.
So please be a little or even a lot more clear as the where to enter this info.
I have sent TWO E-Mails about this and have gotten no response.
Thank you for any help

When you're in the "post" screen, there should be an icon (insert image) that looks like a yellow "mountain" scene. Click on that and it will bring up a pop-up window that you type the URL of the photo into. Hope that helps!

when you type your post, at the point you want your picture to show, type this[IMG]HTTP//WWW.YOURPICTURESVERYLONGADDRESSHERE.COM[/IMG]
to copy and paste the address is the easiest way. To get the address of the image, I open up another window with the picture host site. I right click on the image. It gives me an option to "copy image address" or something to that effect. This is the best way to get the entire address. Make sure you use the right brackets and don't forget the forward slash in the second IMG tag. and there are no spaces.

I hope that helped.

Robert,
Hopefully this will help you:

1. In Photobucket copy the text in the Img box a la:

2. Paste that text in your post a la:

3. Then I preview my post just to make sure it works.

or

you can copy the url

select it with your cursor
and go to edit hit copy

then go to the post area

and put this string of characters [img] at the begining then go up to edit again and click on paste then put [/img]at the end with no spaces between the url ond those boxes

Robert, the forum software uses IMG tags for posting images. If you follow Rampant Lion's instructions, all you need do is a simple copy-n-paste and you are good to go. Photobucket makes it easy-peasy, as they have already inserted the opening and closing tags for you.
