Quite a few people have asked about placing pictures in their threads -
First thing to do is load your pictures onto the PC. Make sure you put them in a folder you will find - I usually put them in the "my documents" or "my pictures" folders.
If the pictures are large (over 1024x768) I would suggest you resize them before uploading to Photobucket -- will take less time and you rarely need pictures to be larger than this.
You can resize pictures via photoediting software or download the Microsoft resize for XP tool which can be found here : www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx
Once you have the pictures you want on the PC and the correct size you need to go to the photobucket website.
www.photobucket.com
If you have an account already - just sign in,if not click on the register now button and follow the prompts.
Once you have logged on you will be able to upload your pictures, create albums and then easily host your pictures into threads.
To load a picture into Photobucket you have to "Upload" it -- simply hit the browse button to select your picture -- it will open another window to allow you to browse through your pictures..
You can choose from the old version uploader or the new quicker one.....
If you want to upload more than one picture at a time simply hit the add more images link underneath the browse bar....
Once your images are loaded -- photobucket will notify you and then you can see them in your album...
To use a photo in a thread - simply click on the IMG code underneath the picture - photobucket will automatically copy it using the correct code - all you have to do then is right click and paste it into your thread...
You don't even have to remember how all the IMG coding thing works - photbucket does it all for you...
For multiple pictures, tick the box of each picture you want to generate IMG coding for, and then scroll down to the "generate IMG HTML code" button, click on this and it will produce 4 boxes of html code, right click and select all of whichever code you want to use, and then copy, I usually use the line "for message boards",then go to your thread and right click on it and paste the links in, if you have done it right when you preview your thread the code will change to pictures, then you can submit your thread.....
Photobucket will also upload images from email, a web site, and your phone.
Hope this is helpful.
