10 easy steps on HOW TO POST PICS:
It takes 2 minutes to setup and 2 minutes to post. It works on almost all forums. (Please keep your Photos at 800x600 or less.
UPDATE: Some of the steps may change over time, but the concept is the same and pretty simple


1.) Go here Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket (IT IS FREE)
2.) Click "sign up" Top right, and enter the info and once your account is setup log in (you may have to activate through an email)
3.) Put your picture on your CPU "desktop" as it is the best place to quickly find it (you may move it later)
4.) Click green upload button (Top / Middle)
5.) Click green "select photos and videos" in the middle of the page
6.) In the Popup screen, locate your picture on your computer to be uploaded. If you put it on your desktop like advised, click the desktop button (depending on what version of windows you have).
7.) Wait 5 seconds until it is uploaded (bigger photos take longer),
8.) Click the blue "save and continue to my album(located right side middle of page) Your album page should popup shortly
9.) Locate your photo in your album page, but don't click it. Hover your mouse over the desired pic and a box will appear. Go to IMG CODE and left click it (you have just copied it).
10.) Right click here on your ad where you want your pic to be placed and choose paste.

*To resize your photos on Photobucket, when you hit "upload photo" you click on "customize your upload options"(under selct photos and videos") Check the 800x600

That’s it!! Practice makes perfect (just like the range)

MP, feel free to copy and paste this into all appropriate sections:

Note: I first edit all my picture's to 800 pixels wide per forum rules before uploading using Microsoft Picture Manager as I find it easier than photobuckets resizing option on their site.

First, sign up:


Put in your info. They don't spam. All you need to do is remember your user name and password.


Once signed in, you need to upload pics. Hit this button:


Then this one:


A box will pop up and you can find and select which photo's you want to upload (after selecting, hit open):


Patiently wait and this will appear once uploaded:


At this point you can click on individual pictures and they'll pop up in a new tab. On the lower right hand side there's a box. All you have to do is click the IMG code one and it'll automatically copy:


Now just paste it in this forums response box:


Now, after you left, then come back at a later time to upload pictures to the forum, go to "My home" and your albums will appear. To access pics, click the album:


Now, if you just put the cursor over the picture you want, a box will appear. Again, just click the IMG one to copy and post here:



And that's a pictorial guide to posting picture's via photobucket on fnforum.net

I will say, my guide is better

on picture 5, once mine has uploaded, I have to click the blue save button to the right(there are 2 of the buttons). Then my whole album comes up.

Are you putting them into a specific album? I never created a specific album and they go to the default album on there own without asking me to save them.

[MP_OHIO]

Yes, I created albums as I have thousands of photos.

Actually I think JHS image shack is easier for NOOBS.

Yep.

[MP_OHIO]

Not calling you a noob, just noticed it had less steps. I still like mine as it gives me more options or I am just used to it

UUUUGGGGHH. I hate image host site photo posting. Why not have the ability to past right from your computer. Some sites do this and its soooo much simpler.

[MP_OHIO]

Takes up too much space on our server. 10k members would require way too much space.
