HOW TO POST PICTURES

Post by Matdragon »

This is a guide on how to post pictures on the forum, using a website called photobucket. Its a very simplifed version that only took me about 30 mins to make. Their are alot more things you can do in photobucket, like create albums and edit images, but this guide will keep it simple.

Remember that any images you upload to photobucket, you will NOT need to re-size before hand, as photobucket will do it for you :)

1- You'll need to visit the link www.photobucket.com you should see something like this (changes from time to time):
Image

2- Next you'll need to register an account on the website, Click the button shown hear:
Image

3-You'll see something like this, enter the username you want to use, and the password you want:
Image

4- After you hit the 'Next step' button you'll see something like this: (continue to enter details and click i agree ...)
Image

5- once you've done that, some adds will pop up, scroll down and hit the 'skip' button:
Image

6- Then your done! you should see your account overveiw (without the pictures) something like this:
Image

7a- uploading a few pictures, or single pictures. Click the big button found here:
Image

7a1- you should see something along to lines of this: (a pop up box, choose an image, hold CTRL and click to choose multiple + hit ok)
Image

7a2- the selcted image(s) will upload as seen hear:
Image

7b- Alternatively, you can use the bulk uploader. its much faster,but the actual uploader takes longer to load. Click this button:
Image

7b1- Then you will see this:
Image

7b2-there are some things you'll need to know to use this bulk uploader; (numbers correspond to numbered parts of picture)
         1- This panel lets you choose the folder that the pictures are in that you want to upload
         2- This panel displays the pictures contained within the folder you have selected in 1
         3- This shows you which pictures you have chosen to upload, and lets you change their name (more on that next)
         4- The nice big blue shiny Upload button :)
Image

7b3- Here shows the pictures ive selected for upload:
Image

7b4- This picture shows them being uploaded:
Image

8- After the pictures have been uploaded, you will be redirected to a tag and description editing page seen in the picture below. Tags and descriptions dont really matter, but you can add them if you like (i genurally dont) After youve done that, scroll down and click the 'Return to album' button.
Image

9- Here you will see the pictures you have uploaded:
Image

10- Hover over the picture you want to embed (put) in your post and a small box with 4 bars in will apear underneath:
Image

11- The one that you want is the bottom bar, the img code. click in it, and it will highlight. copy all the text in the box, but either right clicking and choosing copy, or using the hot key CTRL + C :
Image

12- now paste the text into the post where you want the picture to appear, and hey preto! it looks like this guide!
