Scroll down to find the pic in your album.

Add the photo to your post-

1 Open Message box on the forum (were you type your post), Open a new tab and go to your photobucket album – (have forum open in one tab and PhotoBucket open in another tab.)

2 find the pic you want to upload and hover the mouse pointer on the pic.
A box will open under your photobucket pic, there are 4 boxes –
“Email & IM” - “Direct Link” – “HTML Code”- * “IMG Code”
Left mouse click on * “IMG Code” massage “copied” and the IMG Code box is highlighted - the text looks like this- [IMG]http://i274.pho….

4 Go back to the forum message box and right mouse click “Paste”, the IMG code appears in the message box.

5 Add your message and Preview. If it all looks ok “Submit” and the photo will be in your post.

*Note the pic will only be viewable on the forum as long as it stays in your PhotoBucket album, any changes to the pic in your PhotoBucket album and the pic is lost to the forum.
Also from time to time I will save pics on the forum database (imigeshack) so the pix are visible on the post.
