Most of us seem to use a free "photobucket" account.

Google Photobucket and open account. Then there will be further help if you don't sort it yourself.

HELP!!!!!!

I have filled my bucket but can't find out how to empty it's contents onto the forum.
i am still quite new to this virtual world and it is frustrating me not being able to get any further.
once i know how to do it i will be at it like a rat up a drain pipe as they say.
I have done endless searches on the forum but dont seem to be able to find out anything.
i am getting jealous of you in the know people!
you can PM me if it is easier to do it that way i don't bite!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!.

Regards KERMIT

Find the URL (web address) of your picture (you might have to right click on it in your bucket - not familiar with that.

When writing your post, click on the Img button above, add the URL, click on the Img button again to close the tag. Post. Picture should appear!

eg, I've got photos at http://www.geocities.com/tricky992002/sframe1.jpg (and 2, 3, 4) which appear like this (you need to add the full http:// bit):

Don't put any spaces between the tag (which is [ img ] without the spaces!) or it doesn't work. Just spent 5 minutes figuring that out

Apologies.....ZX subframe mount change in progress....!!

Right, Photobucket.

Select which picture you wish to upload by clicking the small box underneath the picture.

Then go to the bottom of page and you'll see a box marked "Generate HTML & IMG Code" click this box.

The next page opens, look for the box marked "IMG for message boards" right click on this link, then left click "copy.

When you have typed your message to the forum, simply right click and paste to message.

That's a handy feature. I use Flickr which generates html but not bbcode - so I end up doing it by hand, which is irritating.

I might open a Photobucket account just for message boards... hm!
