How to post a photograph

To put a photograph into your post:

  • The photograph must be on your computer.

  • The format should be .jpg

  • Re-size your photograph(s) to a maximum width of 400 pixels.  This ensures that they fit the forum browser window properly.

  • Open a free account at Photobucket.

  • Browse from Photobucket to your photo and choose it.

  • Upload to Photobucket.

  • When the photograph has uploaded it will appear in your album. Underneath there are three addresses.

  • Highlight and copy the one marked Img - make sure you have copied the whole address. There should be IMG and /IMG in square  brackets at the beginning and end of the address.

  • Paste the address into the appropriate place in your post, and the picture should appear.


You can get a false representation if you simply put in a photo address without the IMG tags, as your computer finds the photo in its own innards, whereas other viewers don't have access to that.
