I also use Photobucket...it's free & it's great! I use the option for posting a clickable thumbnail, as illustrated below. Thumbnails are very helpful for people who are on dial-up modems cuz they don't take so long to open. To view the pic, you simply click on the thumbnail & it enlarges...then move your cursor to the lower right corner & pause a moment; a small enlarger button appears. Click on that & the pic enlarges again, giving you the sharpest image. The fully enlarged pic below will measure 640 X 480. Here's how to do it: Select the desired image in your Photobucket album and click the small empty box below the pic's lower left corner. Move the slide bar (on the right) to the bottom and click on "Generate HTML and IMC code" A new display will open with 4-5 options. Use the FIRST option, which is labeled: "HTML clickable thumbnails for eBay, Live Journal, My Space, etc. - recommended" Place your cursor at the beginning, highlight the ENTIRE contents of that box...then right-click it and choose COPY. Now move into the GW thread you want to post to. Right-click inside the "Message" box and you will see the code attached. Click on "Preview Message" ... if you followed the directions, you will now see the actual picture instead of the coding. You can add any text either before or after attaching the photo. Patrick

Moq, thanks a million for the step-by-step instructions, I have my photos on photobucket now and was able to post some pictures.

OK, folks, sorry for all the pics, I should probably be doing this in the test section. Anyway, I believe this would be the best way to post a forum pic: a clickable thumbnail. Below is step by step instructions on how to make one: 1. Log into your Photobucket account Select the image that you would like to generate HTML for by checking the radio box below the thumbnail image (ex.: th_2qn12pz.jpg). 3. Click on the 'Generate HTML and IMG code' button at the bottom of your album. 4. Copy the "HTML clickable thumbnail for ebay, Livejournal,Myspace, etc." code 5 paste the code to your Forum message and it will come out like below: ...now click the above thumbnail for the large picture. (Iknow for you folks who have been around here for awhile, you have probably seen and anwered this question a thousand times. My appologies! Hope this helps you bumblers like myself who are just trying to learn this stuff...

Thank you, Ladies! In spite of my touch pad and the fact that when I "right click" on the image it gives me the prompt: "Copy Image Address" rather than Locations (which saves me the time of highlighting and copying the long string of characters), the directions were perfect. I will copy these and keep it for future reference. For now, I'm going to post more lovely pictures. Thank you!
