How to include photos using photobucket

[Beardednoob]

[Edit by admin: Please note that we now have a new User Image Uploads Manager right here on BeardedDragon.org! Here's a topic with information about it. With it, you can easily upload an image and embed it into your posts. In addition, embedded images (using the new XIMG tag) can be clicked on by readers to view the larger version of it.]

Photobucket has changed since the last guide I made so I made a new one. Please refer to this one instead of the old one.

Open http://photobucket.com/ (in a new tab) then either 'sign in' or if you do not have a photobucket account then 'sign up'.

After the above is done, click on the green button "Upload now"

At the upload screen, click on the green button "Select photos and videos"

Then select the location on your computer where the picture(s) are located, select the picture or multiple pictures by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard. Then click on the "Open" button.

The pictures will begin to upload and a progress bar will be displayed. Once completed you can click on the picture and be taken to the page which contains the picture.

At the containing page on the right side of the screen are the options to choose from for posting, we want the one titled "IMG code" left click in the proper text field, this is all you have to do to copy the pictures address. It will flash yellow saying "copied".

At this point select the forum tab and in the text field click the right mouse button and left click on paste. Done :wink:

That was so helpful, thanks!! Got my photos loaded into photobucket but it has come to my attention that they are huge, pixel wise.
I can run them through an editing program in the camera and get them down to 160 x 120. Is that small/large enough? What size are the photos you post? They always look good.

The forum will auto re-size the pictures, just post them :wink:
