Photobucket Tutorial
Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:41 am
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!
