Using Photobucket: If your image file (picture) is of large size – say a 12 Mp
picture of about 4.5 Mb - first reduce your picture size to 600 X 400 pixels,
so it will fit on the screen when displayed in the forum, and use less
memory. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements,
which is simple to use – just open the image file you want to use, click on
IMAGE – RESIZE – IMAGE SIZE and change the ‘Width’ box to 600. Click OK, save the new image, and that’s it. Open a Photobucket account at Photobucket.com Enter Photobucket and log in. Click on MY ALBUMS At the upper centre click on the green tab UPLOAD NOW and
then click on SELECT PHOTOS AND VIDEOS Find the drive/folder and filename required, select it, and
click OPEN. (Up to three files can be
opened at the same time) The file(s) will be uploaded from your PC to Photobucket Click on MY ALBUM – your picture will be seen Place the mouse pointer on the picture, and below it a menu
will appear, giving options for exporting the picture in different forms. Click once on IMG CODE – it will briefly change to COPIED The file data will now be pasted from Photobucket to your PC
clipboard – just like clicking ‘Edit – Copy.’
Photobucket can now be closed. On the forum, the picture can be inserted wherever the mouse cursor is positioned, before or after text, by clicking PASTE. The caption [IMG] and a code will appear. To view your picture click the forum’s PREVIEW command. To send the text and picture click the forum’s POST REPLY command.
That’s it!
