HOW-TO: Post images to this forum using Photobucket

Post by amulheirn »

Here is a quick how-to guide on embedding images in a forum post using Photobucket. This assumes you've already got a Photobucket account and have uploaded a photo you wish to share.

Photobucket posting involves fewer steps than Flickr, but can only display the image in its original size. Flickr on the other hand allows you to post small versions to the Forum which can be clicked to see the original size.

1. Log into Photobucket and click the image you wish to share:

Image

2. Click the 'IMG' box to the right of the image. This copies the image location to your clipboard. The box will briefly turn yellow and say 'Copied':

Image

3. Create a new posting in the forum. Paste the code using Edit / Paste, right-click / Paste or CTRL-V into your posting:

Image

4. Click the 'Preview' or 'Submit' buttons to view your results!

That's it! Try it a few times and it becomes easy. Post any questions below and I will refine this how-to guide.

Is anyone having issues with Photobucket at the moment? If I try to download pictures I get bumped back to the Login screen.
Cheers, Clive.

Just tried it myself (but not logged in) and it seems ok to me... If in doubt, reboot everything Clive! ;)
