Add Image To Your Post: PhotoBucket Users

[Lora]

I have had a few people ask me how I put images in my posts. It's really simple and when I explain you'll say "OH!! THat is SOOOOO easy!"

1. Upload your picture to Photobucket. Make sure you set the size to 600x800 or smaller or else the photo will be HUGE on the board... not cool to make people scroll left to right...

2. Under each image in you photobucket account, there are four types of links. The last one says IMG Code. That's Image Code and that's the one you want. See... here... Click on it and it will copy for you... if it doesn't, just highlight it and do a Ctrl + C on your keyboard and it will copy.


3. Start your post and paste it in to your message. The photo will NOT show in your message until you post it to the board and IF you go to edit it later on, you won't see it then either... just the code. Basically the code is a link (basic HTML) telling it a reference of a photo URL to put in your message (I know... you are saying "HUH??") Just know you can put the IMG Code in there and it will work.

There ya go.... very easy peasy, huh?

oh yeah... let me try to explain the other ones...

The first link is if you are on GoogleTalk, Yahoo Messenger, or AIM and want to send your friend a link to you photo.

The 2nd link is if you are composing an email or making a message here and you don't want to show the picture, but you want to give a link to it so others can see it if they want.

The 3rd is if you are building a webpage or something...

the last link is the one you want.

If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and I'll add Q&A to this post.
