    So you want to learn how to post pictures! (Instructional thread with pictures)

    Hello everyone!

    I have been seeing the question arise more and more and that is : "How do I post pictures?"

    So today I will give you a complete step by step tutorial on how to do so! ( using photobucket )

    So Step one :

    Go to http://photobucket.com/



    Step two :

    Click the sign up button in the right hand corner to sign up for an account.



    Step three :

    Fill in all your info and click sign me up! (Click no thanks when prompted for a pro account) You will then be sent to your home screen!



    OPTIONAL STEP ONE :

    Editing your photo so it is not massive.

    Open a photo editing software. I use paint (windows 7) because its fast and easy. Once you have paint opened choose your photo by clicking the little blue box with a smaller white box in the left hand corner.



    OPTIONAL STEP TWO :

    After opening your photo you will see that it is quite huge!



    OPTIONAL STEP THREE :

    Re sizing the photo. Click the re size button in the top bar. After doing so click the pixels circle that is beside percentage. Now type in what amount of pixels you would like to re size your photo to. I usually make my horizontal 640 pixels and the vertical automatically gets changed to keep the ratio even and not stretched.



    OPTIONAL STEP FOUR :

    Press ok and viola! Your photo has been re sized to fit the forum thread without being huge! Now go back to that little blue box up in the left hand corner and hover your pointer over save as. You will see an other menu appears. Click the first option PNG picture because it will save it at highest quality. Now name and save your picture to somewhere easily accessible.

    Step four :

    Now to upload your photo to photobucket. At your home screen you will see a green upload button at the top of your page. Click this button.



    Step five :

    Click the big green button in the middle of the screen and it will bring up a new window for you to locate your picture. Locate your picture and click on it followed by clicking the open button in the lower right side of the new window. The photo will automatically begin to upload to your account!



    Step six :

    Once the upload is complete, click the view album button. It will then take you back to your home screen!



    Step seven :

    Now lets get the picture onto the thread! Hover over the picture you want to post. Now some boxes will appear underneath it. Go down to IMG code and click on the URL beside it. It may automatically copy the URL or it may not. If it doesnt you can just highlight the URL then right click copy or press ctrl+v on your keyboard.



    Step eight :

    Now all you have to do is paste that IMG code into your thread box or reply box and PRESTO! You have officially posted a picture on the forums!



    Step nine :

    DANCE!


    Hope this helps a lot of people out!

    you can also do the same using bp.net. I post/host all the pics i post to this site directly onto this server. works just as well. but using photobucket gives you centralized management.

    Great tutorial. We have a few already stickied in the BP Photo's, but not a general one that I'm aware of. I'll go ahead and sticky this one here.

    This seems a little bit much just to post a picture. Too much work involved. Is there a way it can be changed??

    Good tutorial, but for the poster above:
    I use a nifty program called puush
    it allows you to upload photos in seconds and copy the url.
    much more efficient than photobucket.

    1) sign up & download
    2) open
    3) go to task bar
    4) right click the arrow
    5) choose from 5 options
    6) let it upload (typically doesn't take longer than 5 seconds)
    7) copy and paste URL in BB coding

    once you learn the hotkeys, you can skip 3 - 5 and press (for example) ctrl + shift + 5 to upload what you have on your clipboard or ctrl + shift + U to open the file browser
