I get asked - and see it asked many times - how to upload images to share/participate on this forum. So I put together a quick tutorial for newbies on how to do this. Note - there are other ways to post images, but this one is easy and free...


First, go to photobucket.com and set up a free account. Once you have your account set up, you can upload images. Note, it is best to have them in the size 800x600 according to their size limit, but if you don't, the site will automagically resize them for you.

Here is a screen shot of what the upload part looks like.

I was able to post the previous image by clicking in the box titled IMG Code (3rd box under each image) and you will see a yellow box pop up that says "copied"...then just past it here in a reply, new thread, advanced post or edit a previous reply box.

Good luck and welcome to the forum. You are now ready to post images!

Message said I need to make 5 post before I can embed an image link.

This gets me 1 post closer.

Its also helpful to resize your images to avoid having the text bleed over in your posts.


Photobucket has a nifty way to do this:

How to rehost an image in your photobucket account.


Step one see an image and copy the url of an image, firefox can do this with a right click:

Step 2, go to your photobucket account, click on "Web URL", paste the images upload, then click upload.

I host them from the public folder in my .MAC account (for those with a .MAC account or equivalent).

why I can't type in my info in the next step, I tried several times but no luck. I succesfully past step 1 but step 2 won't show my info at all so I can't register.

Try registering on a different computer?

Honestly, the easiest way I've found to upload an image is using tinypic.com, choose your size, upload, and post the link. no registering involved.

Awesome, thanks mark. Now I can easily refer to that spot rather than look for a post from dcpilgrim every time I'm looking for it

That is exactly what I do every time the issue comes up!! Heck, I was starting to look for it just now when this thread popped up.

Jeesh Mark, now no one is going to read my posts

. Probably for the best. Congrats to Jason for making it to the big time.

My Photobucket account had over 100,000 hits the last three weeks. And that is without nudity.

Are you saying you would get more hits if you were nude?

Where do you get the number from. I am on photobucket and I don't see it.
