I feel I have a pretty good sense around a computer, but I have never seen anything like trying to add a photo to this forum. I've given it an hour trying to use photobucket and other suggestions but I surrender.......for now. Additional help with a copy and paste method or add file would be appreciated. Or am I the only one not catching on. Also I dont understand the line under the Box
Attachments and other options because it has nothing to do with adding attachments

Hang in there.. HELP IS ON THE WAY...
An image uploaded somewhere will have it's own address (URL).
To show the image in a post, you need to tag it (tell our computers that an image address is coming) with [ img ] then typethe url here and tell our computers the image url is done by typing [ /img ].
it will look like this: " [ IMG]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x407/grouperman941/Smoked%20and%20Cured/DSC_5148_zpsdb7aa957.jpg[ /IMG] "
But I added spaces inside the brackets to 'fool' the computers.
With the spaces removed, the above example gives this:
(http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x407/grouperman941/Smoked%20and%20Cured/DSC_5148_zpsdb7aa957.jpg)
Right click on the image and click 'properties' to see the URL of the photo.
Hope that helped. I felt inspired. :-)
OR.. "Inspect Element" (if you're using Chrome)...
This is a little more updated. Photobucket has changed.
click on the cog in the upper right hand corner of you picture.

thin click on the get links line.
(http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad274/pikeman_95/GETLINKS_zps37b7a7be.png)
then click on the IMG code
(http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad274/pikeman_95/PICKINGIMGCODE_zpsdb5d1d38.png)
it will turn yellow and say copied. Than paste this into your post.

Is that like when you had to drink a double turpentine before you let Dorothy cut those freaky wings off? 8)
Why couldn't the Photobucket people just left things the way they were? I liked the old format much better and it was quick and easy to use. <sigh>

I agree. I refused to move to the new format until forced to do so on Monday.
There will be a new tutorial on the Recipe Site either by the end of tomorrow or Thursday.
I put the pictures I post here in my public Dropbox folder. Much easier for me all I have to do is get the public link from Dropbox and paste it into the "Insert Image" brackets

Pics are usually 4:3 or sometimes (I think) 16:9...
I never have to "edit/size" the ones I upload/link to....
If you need to supply
dimensions try something like 800 x 600 and see what it looks like.

I don't use the editing tools on Photobucket. My browser and OS don't want to work with the new version. It is much easier to resize (resample) photos prior to uploading. Any graphics program can easily get that done. Just change one dimension; either length or width and by default the other size will change proportionately.
If I post pictures I like to keep them around 640 x 480 pixels. That way almost anyone with a small screen, and any browser can see the full picture without having to zoom out or scroll.
One thing I liked about Photobucket was that it automatically resized the photos to something like 800x600 when I uploaded them. I used to have to go into MS Paint and use the "Stretch/Skew" option. Maybe it was something in the default setup that I never changed but it was a welcome feature.
With the new Photobucket I don't know if they've removed that but I hope it's at least one thing that they didn't mess with.
I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and it wasn't playing well with
Photobucket. I didn't want to install Windows 8 yet.
So I installed firefox just for photobucket. My camera is set on 1M
(smallest setting) and the pictures still come out hugh.
They use to have a place to set your pictures to a certain download
size. that has been removed but might be added at a later date.
Right now, I am having to edit each picture. Click picture, click edit,
click resize, I use 470 and let puter set the other size, click save,
check replace original, click save again. A pain in the butt.
If someone knows a better way I am listening.
This is a 470 X 352 picture.

When you down load your pictures from your camera you can right click them and open them with microsoft office. In microsoft office you can click on edit picture and then click on compress picture. choose document and it will drop a 1.5 meg picture down to about 2-3hundred k bites. I go through all the pictures at once and then save them. They are now reduced and ready to upload to photobucket. They will upload much faster as the files are much smaller.

While working on the tutorial, I could not get the editing tools to work with my system. I have Windows 8 and using IE 10. I didn't take the time to troubleshoot the problem, it could be my anti virus or my settings in IE. The default size for pictures appears to be 640 x 425 pixels. That is what my photos are ending up being on Photobucket.
One feature I am finding that I really like, is that they made it much easier to create albums, and to set the privacy settings for an album.

It still needs a few tweaks, but it is ready to use.

Nice job Habs
Thanks!
This project gave me the opportunity to try out some new software I have had for about a month.
Great job Hab's. Everyone, old users and new should appreciate your work.
