Photobucket Tutorial

[SuzukiGhostRider]

Ok, so one of the most common questions in the forums appears to be "How do I post a pic?". So , tonight I'm going to show you how step by step with screen shots.
Hopefully a mod or admin will pin this.

1.) Go to www.photobucket.com Click "Join Now" in the upper right hand corner as seen in the SS. Now, I'm NOT going to walk you through this part as anyone of average intelligence can follow the step by step process of joining a site. So , I won't insult you.


2.) Ok, so now that you've joined, go BACK to Photobucket and Log In, also in the upper right hand corner as seen in the SS above.

3.) Now you will see something like this:

Now, click the "Choose Files" button under "Upload Images and Video" and browse your PC to the photo or video you would like to upload. If you need to upload more than one file, hold down Ctrl while left clicking the various files, then let up and click "Open". If you need to upload a lot of photos or videos click on the blue "Use Our Bulk Uploader" link below the "Choose Files" button and follow the instructions. Pretty much drag'n'drop . Works great , I've used it many times. You WILL be asked to DL a file and it's SAFE!! I've been using PB for years and never had a problem or a virus!

4.) Ok, so now you've selected the photos you want uploaded, so let's hit "Upload" and let PB do it's job. You will see a progress bar and a message upon completion. It will look like the two SS's below:


5.) Ok, so now we've joined,logged in,uploaded our photos and now we want to know how to post them. Simply double click the "IMG Code" link to copy. You will see a yellow message saying "Copied" as in the SS below. Now paste into your post and submit and waalaa! Chicken's done!

SIDENOTE. Now you may wonder what those others do. Ok, well HTML Code is to imbed into a web page.
Direct Link just displays a web link and no pic. People have to click the link to see the pic.
E-mail....well I think that's pretty self explanatory.
I hope this helped!

ok, i know all that stuff, but my question was, howd you seperate the stuff into seperate catagories?

Oh, you mean a new Album. Once in your main album page simply go to the upper left side of the page where it says "Add a new album" like I highlighted in the SS below.

Type your new album name in and click "Save". The page will refresh and should go to the new album. If not click the album link you wish to go to in the same area of the page to get into it. Like you can see my albums in the SS. Repeat steps in the first post to upload photos to it. You can also move pics already uploaded by selecting the check boxes under each pic you want to move (you can also use the "select/unselect all" button at the bottom of the page if you want to move all the photos on that page),then scolling to the bottom of the page and clicking "Move Selected". It will take you to a new page where you will see a scroll box with your albums listed. Simply select the photo album you want them placed in. Done!

NP! I should have done this long ago but never got around to it until now. I hope this clarifies posting pics for people.

PB has changed their upload window a bit. If you can't figure it out or have trouble, PM me. I'd be glad to help.
