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!
