How to post pictures (for the computer illiterate).

[fordsbyjay]

Below is step by step pictures of what is involved to post pictures on this or any other forum. I hope it will help those that are not very computer savy.

Have a good day.

>>NOTE<< Photobucket has changed the URLs it supplies, so you will now want to copy the Direct URL not the IMG URL.

I posted a pic last night with photobucket and with my set up it seems they have changed things a bit. If you hover over the code it will automatically copy it without the need to do any right clicks. I thought it a bit wierd that just by hovering it copied the code all by itself, but it worked.

Thanks for the catch on step 7 Jerry, it should read left click not right click. My instructions were for the old way but they redid their layout recently so that could be some of their "improvements".I checked it this morning and you still have to left click the "IMG code" and it will copy it automatically.

I have corrected the error and posted a new picture.

When I shoot my pictures I'm going for a 3 to 5 mb res. When I post to Photobucket, I have used a resizer software to get it to a size that works here, around 125kb to 250 kb.

Let me help you out. Post or IM me your photobucket account and I will see if I can figure out where you are going wrong. I know everything with computers is always hard at first till you figure out how their "logic" is.

EDIT: In this post, you inserted the IMG tags, but added no image URL within them. - Mike

AZ can you copy and paste the link to your photobucket account and I will see if I can do it?
