Default Walkthrough on how to post pictures on the forums

1. Goto website www. photobucket .com and make an account (you only need to make an account once)
2. Now login on the top right once your account is made.
3. Now you will see 3 or more "BROWSE" buttons, click on each one and select the picture from your picture folders, you can upload up to 8 at once I beleive, I recommend making them a little smaller otherwise the pictures will take FOREVER to upload (even on a fast internet connection) and they will look HUGE on the forums.
4. Once you selected the pictures you wanted from browse, click on upload.
5. Once the pictures are "shown" and listed each individual picture will have 3 links below it
the 3 are
URL LINK
HTML TAG
IMG CODE
click on the "URL LINK" and it will copy it to your computers memory.
6. Now open a new window and come to the forums, make the post you want, click on the little "PICTURE" icon and it will ask you "what is the url" now right click and press "PASTE" and then click OK.
7. Continue repeating step 6 till you have added all the pictures to the forum you wanted.
8. All done

I’ve had that happen before, you probably copied a photo link while you were logged-in to your acct.

Try this, go to your acct but don’t log in, (log-out if you’re logged in automatically) copy a photo link, then post it and see if that works.

This talks about the problem: http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=56&...=f&topicID=480

I've never had the problem and I'm constantly logged in, so that's not the cause. Imagine if it was, you'd have to copy, log out, paste the IMG, log back in, copy the next picture, log out...
