    Theres been so many questions asking HOW to post pics, I thought i'd do a guide and make it as simple as possible

    Firstly create a photobucket account if you don't already have one

    http://photobucket.com/

    Next, get organised!...create albums in photobucket of the topic you're going to be posting about (in my case here called ZIP)

    Next click into the ZIP folder and you'll see this screen

    [​IMG]

    Then upload the picture you want to show by clicking here

    [​IMG]

    This will allow you to browse your own PC and look for the file (TIP...if its something I know I'm going to upload in a few minutes I usually save the file or folder to my desktop to help find it quicker)

    Click upload and you'll see its progress like below

    [​IMG]

    When the upload is finished, you'll get this screen

    [​IMG]

    You can either add tags or not...your choice. If you then return to your album, you'll see the IMG CODE below the picture you've just uploaded like below

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Next, see the image code?????. You'll need that to be copied into the post you're creating in the forum..Paste it in!

    [​IMG]

    Next to make sure you've done it right, click PREVIEW

    [​IMG]

    If all looks good click SUBMIT like you usually do...sorted!

    like this

    Word to Note. IF YOU'VE ALREADY PUT THE PICTURES UP ON A FORUM AND YOU DECIDE TO MOVE/EDIT/DELETE THE ORIGINALS IN PHOTOBUCKET....YOU WILL BREAK THE LINK AND THE PICTURE ON THE FORUM WILL NO LONGER SHOW!!!!!!
