If you click on the picture in Photobucket, it should show 4 link codes. The last one starts with [IMG] and ends with [/IMG]. Copy that link and paste it in your post. The pic should show. You can ust the Help and Feedback , testing ,forum to test your post.

Click the icon just above your typing line..... it looks like a box with a mountain on it. It is 5th from the right, or 14th from the left..... it adds the img tag to your photobucket address. Alternately you could just do it manually. Don't use the quotes "[IMG]web address here[/IMG]"

Also...
Most ISP's offer up free personal web space that can be used for this purpose as well. You do need an FTP client such as Transmit for the Mac (cheap, I paid like $18.95) or there are many others and some freeware.

Simply upload your images and copy the address. In your post, click the insert image icon and paste your address.

Clear as mudd right?

You're right...
Photobucket is an easy solution. Just trying to point out other options for those who may want to delve into the world of web design or building a personal web site. As I stated, there is freeware out there for this purpose.

If all you ever want to do is show your Corvette pics on this site, use Photobucket.
