How to post photos ?
Posted by steve24944 on Monday, February 21, 2011 10:24 AM

I have been looking for 5 minutes at all the pull downs and can't find any instructions of how to post photos.  I know it has something to do with photobucket or something like that, but I can't find any instructions to save my life.  Why are the instructions so hard to find ?

Okay open a second window and log on to your pics on photobucket find the pic you want scroll your cursor over it and a window will open and it has different links in it click on the one that says direct link it will say copied real quick then come back to your post and click on the emblem that looks like a window with a tiny ball in lower right corner it will open to a new small window that says

Link to media

put your link in there and click insert and it will close and your pic will show as seen below here.

Actually, it's even easier than that.

Assuming you have already loaded images to http://photobucket.com/ ...

Hover over the picture in Photobucket.

4 links will open under the picture.

The bottom link is labeled "IMG code"  Click on THAT one.

Then place the cursor in the reply box where you want the image and paste the link there.

There is no need to use any tools at the top.

OK.....

Might make more sense to me if I sign up to photobucket.   Are there other photo sharing sites out there ?

I guess my question should be directed to Ogaugeoverlord,  why is it so hard to find instructions here on CTT forum on instructions for loading photos ?

First yes a lot another thou is www.shutterfly.com

for your question to bob as to why we need another site to host the pics they don't have the band withe ( space to store all the pics the members would want to store and do the forums and there items also. cost to much money. Most here are grateful for the free forums and other items they have. Not trying to sound negative to your question as its one that comes up from a lot of folks when they get here. Some of the computer tech guys can explain it better than me but thats the basics of it.
