Photobucket isn`t the only, or possibly even the best way of hosting images on the internet, so if you are using Flickr, Picassa, or
any other photo sharing system, it shouldn`t be a problem to post images on the ACOC forum.
Photobucket. You can now log in using your Facebook or Twitter identities if you are not already signed up. If you don`t TwitFace, sign-up is easy, quick & confidential!
Once signed in, on the right-hand side of the screen there is an 'app box', where you can install desktop, mobile or Facebook connect.
I installed the desktop version.
This allows you to drag 'n' drop photos or folders of photos from your PC into Photobucket. I tried 1 image & a folder containing 2 images.
Didn`t have much luck with the 'Auto uploader', but the manual one worked fine!
More detailed instructions to follow.
To put photos in your post that are already on the internet: (Helps to have 2 internet browsers open, one with the site that contains the photo you wish to share, the other one with this forum.)
Right click on the image, select 'properties', copy the address(URL) '
http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q113/nikbj68/37dsmall.jpg' bit, come back to your post on this forum and press the
button, then paste it between the [I
MG]*[/I
MG] codes. (If you reply to a post using the 'reply with quote' button(
) the
button isn`t there; just type [I
MG] [/I
MG]either side of the address, upper or lower case, it matters not).
Note: Always check usage restrictions, and as a matter of courtesy I would suggest providing a link & credit to the source of your photo.
So. having the following in your message:
[I

Will give you this:
