Some members are having problems posting images so here is a very brief tutorial which may just help you out:


1. Create your account at http://photobucket.com/ (or other image hosting site)

2. Use the folder with your name on it or create a subfolder (recommended). You do that on the left side where it says "New Album" > Save

3.Go to "Upload Images and Videos", somewhere in the middle. Now click on "Choose Files". This will most likely bring up your "Pictures" folder (but you can select another folder). Double click on the file you want to upload. After a few seconds you will see it. If you put your mouse over the image it will highlight your options for posting (link options).

4. If you want to post this picture directly on the Forum, click on IMG Code (last link), then right click on that and COPY. If you only want to post the link to the picture, click on Direct link, then right click and COPY. Then you've got it in your clipboard (from where you Paste).

5. Now you can paste this into your posting. If you chose IMG, the picture will only show up in PREVIEW or AFTER you have posted.  If you chose "Direct link", it will just be a link.

Note:   If you decide to use "imageshack" as your host it does not require you to create an account to upload a file. It's personal choice really.

I have never had a problem with Photobucket but then I probably don't do as much artwork as you Alice.  Feel free to change my post if you wish, you have the facility as a Moderator to do so
