Many people like to post images into their posts by using PHOTOBUCKET.COM or another similar image hosting service. See below instructions on how to do this:

Register for an account

1) Goto http://www.photobucket.com
2) Click the 'Sign up' link that appears in the top right of the screen.
3) Fill in the registration form. You'll probably receive an email to authorise the account as well.

Uploading photos

4) Login to your account on Photobucket
5) Click the green 'Upload now' button that appears on the top of the site
6) Click on the 'Select photos and videos' green button*
7) Locate the photo(s) on your computer that you wish to upload
8) Once uploaded, click on 'Save and continue to my album' to see your uploaded images or click 'Upload more files' to continue uploading.

Linking to photos in your album

9) When you've finished uploading, and have clickec on the 'Save and continue..' link, you'll see your uploaded photo in your album. Simply hover over the thumbnails until you see link codes appear underneath.

10) Click the field that is next to the 'IMG Code' label - it should look like this:


http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii229/piersberry/C-X75-WATCH.jpg

When you click it, the above link will be copied

11) Go back to your post, and press 'paste' to paste the above code into your post.

12) Once you've previewed or posted, your image should appear like below:

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii229/piersberry/C-X75-WATCH.jpg

* Please note - For best results, click on the 'Customize your upload options' link when you at the 'Select photos and videos' screen - you will then see options of sizes to upload - For best results choose '800x600' - Many forums don't accept sizes bigger than this.

As you guys have probably noticed, Photobucket officially sucks for changing their terms and conditions and essentially holding our forum photos hostage. For now, do not use Photobucket anymore. We are working to try and figure out a solution to get the photos back, but it may be challenging. For now please use another photo storage site such as imgur.com
