1. Do you have them posted on a web site or photo server
like photobucket?

2. I have them stored
in a photoshop album. I don't have a web site. They are pretty cool, and I'd like to share them. What's the easiest way?
Thanks.

4. You need to get a free Photobucket account.
You can then upload your pictures onto that and post them. It's very easy to do.

6. Get an account w/ Photobucket
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 09:13 PM by Hans Delbrook
Go to photobucket.com and sign up. Upload the pictures from your album to the website; then copy the URL and add it to your post. The picture will appear in your post. You can check it w/ preview before you officially post.

7. Thanks
But all I'm getting in the preview is the link, not the photo.

8. Make sure it's the whole URL
Sometimes I fail to copy the whole thing and that's when I don't get a picture.

9. When you're in Photobucket,
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 09:36 PM by Crunchy Frog
underneath the picture you will see three spaces that have type in them. The first one says Url. In that space, left click to highlight it, then when it's highlighted, right click on it and click on "copy". That copies it to your clipboard. You can then right click in the body of your post and click "paste". That should put in the correct URL and the picture should post.

Please post something on this thread when you get it figured out.

3. You have to type in the URL for the picture,
and it has to be on a server on the net, you can't post directly from your own computer. I believe it also has to be in either the gif or jpg format.

5. Copy and paste the URL address.
Hit "preview" to see that your pic was pasted properly.
