Posting Buck pics w/PhotoBucket
Also known as "Photobucket For Dummies"
[Latest update - 30 Dec 2007]
This is for Registered Members lacking photo attachment privileges and/or newcomers eager to display their latest acquisitions...
It's quick & dirty, and if I've made mistakes or left out a vital step, please inform me & I'll change it! I've used the thumbnail-linked-to-fullsize option to save space (and I'm going over my own threads changing them by using this method). There's a more detailed tut at - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219367 if you want to get more involved. Bernard Levine has also provided instructions at - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=353471.
How to post photos to your thread using PhotoBucket
Set up a PhotoBucket account. I just chose the Free Account.
Next, make sure you are logged in to your account.
If you haven't set up an "album" yet, do so. If you wish to keep your images separated, set up a "Sub Album" and click on it to open it.
Upload your image by using the "Upload To" box at the top of the page. Click on Browse; navigate to the image on your hard drive; select it by clicking on it, it should appear in the box "picture" line. Add a separate description if you like (I don't bother). Click "Upload" button.
Scroll down to the image you wish to link, check the box next to the image name.
Now, go to the bottom of the page, and select "Generate HTML and IMG Code".
*Important* Please implement this next step!!! Not everyone is on broadband, and some of us have to pay for bandwidth!!!
On the resulting page, scroll down to the third selection box "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" and copy that text. Save it to a safe place.
Start your Forum thread. Post your opening text.
Open the "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" text that you saved. Paste the text into your thread. Click "Save" when you've finished typing your post. The clickable thumbnail should be functional.
