Using photobucket

Here it is written in stages for those of you wanting to try it out.
1. Put photos onto your computer from your camera!
Put it in 'my pictures' file!
2. Go to http://photobucket.com/ or another photo host.
3. If you haven't registered with photobucket , do so first!
4. Once you are registered click on BROWSE near the top of the photobucket page.
5.This should bring up your picture file from your computer!!
6. Now find the picture in that file that you want to show and double click it.(It is easier if you resize it to a sensible size first!)
7.It will now be written as code in the browse bar of photobucket .
8. You now need to click UPLOAD , just under the browse button.
9. It may take a while, but your photo will show on that photobucket page soon.
10. It will have three rows of code under your photo.
11. You now highlight the bottom row of code . It starts like this [IMG]http://img.photobuck........ etc
It will have img to the left of the row that you need!
12. Once you have highlighted the bottom row . I double click on it to highlight it (you may prefer to drag across it to highlight it . It will go black) Right click on it whilst it is black. Now go down to copy on the grey box that comes up. Right click on the word copy.
13. Now come onto this forum, where you would normally write your reply and right click and go down to paste in the grey box that comes up. Right click on paste.
It will look like a row of coded writing at the moment on the blank page.
But that is it. You can add any writing to the thread now under the code .
Now just click on the reply button under your post and it will/should show as photo in the thread

Can I just add.
To save your upload time, and to allow the pages on these forums to open quicker, please resize the images to 800x640 before uploading them to photobucket or similar. But please copy the picture first.
What I tend to do is this.
On my desktop, I have a folder called 'uploads'. Any image I want to upload anywhere is copied into this folder. I then press ctrl+a to select them all. I have a patch from microsoft installed that resizes images in your right click menu. Highly recommended, I will find the link. But with this patch, I resize all images to 800x640. This makes the pics qicker to upload to photobucket and also because this site 'leaches'(searches other websites for images) it slows down the speed in which the web page opens. So really, smaller images are better. I will go find that link now.

don't worry about crap being put on your computer. Power toys are tools made by the windows developers to make their job easy. They are removed before windows is released. They are made by Microsoft employees, but because they are tool's, they are not endorsed by Microsoft. But every computer I have built or repaired (over 70) has powertoys on them. And if anything, they prevent crashes, not create them.
