Most of us use Photobucket to post our pictures here. Rags has asked me to post this for any members who wish to use Photobucket and don't know how. Here are the instructions I've sent to a few members to get them started....
Rags made an excellent point about opening a new web page besides the one you're logged into MWO with and working with PB on that page.
It's as easy as pie to download pics from Photobucket. Just go to their site (.com) Along the top is a blue bar with a white space on the right side that says "search images". You can just write in what you're looking for - "congratulations", "have a great weekend", cute puppies, red cars, whatever. Click on the search button next to it and the first page of pictures will pop up. This is the easy way to post the pictures. If there's something you want to post there, put your cursor on the picture and four bars will pop up below it. Click on the bottom one that is the IMG code and it will automatically copy the picture. Go to the message box here at MWO where you want to post the picture and simply right click on your mouse and then paste it. It's that simple. There is another method using the image icon - that's the little yellow square at the top of the message box that shows a mountain. But you can do it my way and it's much easier. Then, to see how the photo will appear, click on the "preview message" bar at the bottom of the message box and it will show you how your message will look. If the picture you want to post is too big you can edit it but you have to sign up - it's free, you don't have to pay to join in order to do the easy stuff. Then you can resize, crop, add text, whatever. There are lots of options there. Just read all the different boxes that come up. And after you've signed up, you can upload pictures from your computer to your file there. Just make sure you secure any photos such as family ones that you wouldn't want others to have access to. They can be copied from your files to someone else's. I would suggest that before uploading pictures from your computer to Photobucket, that you resize them to around 600 by 800. That's a good size, doesn't take long to upload and can be posted here at MWO. To upload your pictures, just click on the green "upload now" bar and you're off and running. I usually go through my pictures first and note the dates so it's easier to find them if I want to upload several photos at a time - you have that option in the upload part. Again, before you post the picture or pictures you want to, click on the preview post button at the bottom of the message window to see how your pics will look.
If I can be of any more help, just PM me.
