First step:
Go to -->
http://www.photobucket.com/
And make a user account

Step two:
Grab your camera, plug it into your computer (usually through USB) and transfer the pictures from your camera over to your computer. Remember where you put the pictures, easiest place to put them is the "Desktop".

Step three:
Ensure you are logged into your Photobucket.com account, click on the "upload now" button.

There will be a new window with the "Upload to Photobucket" heading.
Click the "select photos and videos" button.

There will pop up a window, change the location to be the same spot you transferred your images to from your camera. Clicking the images once will highlight them for upload, to select multiple images you can either, left click and hold then drag your mouse cursor over the images or click them one at a time while holding down the "Ctrl" key.

Once you have your images highlighted for upload click the "open" button located at the bottom of the selection window.
Photobucket.com will then upload those images to your photobucket.com account. You can add titles and descriptions if you want but, you do not have to. Once the image(s) have uploaded, click the "save and continue to my album" button.


Step four:
Now you have been directed to where your photos are. Click on the image you want to post into the beardeddragon.org forum.
Now left click in the "IMGcode" field.

It should flash yellow and say "copied"


Step five:
Now go to the beardeddragon.org post that you want to insert a photo into. This is easiest done by using "tabs" in your browser.

In the text input window, right click the location you want the picture posted, and left click on "paste". There will be the "IMGcode" from photobucket.com inserted into the text input window.

When you submit your forum post, instead of showing the "IMGcode" your photo will be displayed.

That is it, all done. With some practice you can edit the photos before posting them, add photo albums etc..

Very nice response Beardednoop!

We've had one that people referred to for a while with a video, but it was very old and not with how Photobucket looks today.

I'm going to Sticky this topic, and change the subject to reflect the core question... so others can benefit from the good explanation on how to use Photobucket.

Also, keep in mind we do not require you use photobucket. It is just one of the more popular ones people use that works well for posting on forums. You can use any site you want, as long as they allow images to be shown on remote websites.

You are very welcome.

Wow! That was an awesome tutorial on how to upload pictures! I had already known how to do that from myspace HTML and all of that, but awesome tutorial helping people out

I strongly suggest an upgrade to the forum be made to compliment this issue.

Most forums have a button where you can just upload a picture right from your computer and it puts it in the post.

Just my $0.02 :wink:

It's easy to post pictures.. Just simply make a code for pictures.
