posting pics - instructions

There are a lot of folks who aren't understanding how to post pics "right into" their posts or to post the "URL tag" so others can copy and paste their picture program site. Don't feel bad, I had this same problem when I first started on the forums till someone really explained it to me also. Below is the recent post I made for someone who didn't understand what she was doing wrong. Again, if you don't understand my instructions, just ask and I'll check in to answer your questions. Or write a post directly to me - with either Q. for Sal or Craftylady-2006 in the title and I'll check it. I love this forum, I check it several times a day.

----------------------------

I use "photobucket.com" - it's free. Maybe my instructions for Photobucket will be similar or the same for Snapfish and/or other photo programs.

Open "photobucket.com" and set up an account. On the top of the page just to the right you will see a box for "uploading pics" - hit the "browse" button and it will open "My Pictures" in your computer program (I have AOL). Find the picture you want, click on it and then hit the "open" button, this will put that particular pictures code into the white rectangular box in photobucket. Just to the bottom of that you will see "add more images." If you click on that, it will open up about five more white retangular boxes and the browse button next to each white box. Add more pics as described above. When you are done adding pics, click the "Upload" button and photobucket will put the pictures in your account. When you are typing a msg in the forums, leaving the forum page "open" or minimize it, and then open your photobucket site. Underneath each picture you will see three boxes, URL Link

HTML Tag and IMG Code. To put the picture right into your msg in the forum, click on the HTML Tag, it will say "Copied" - then go back to the forum page and put your cursor where you want the picture to appear. Then go to the top menu bar, click on "Edit" and hit "Paste" - the HTML code will appear in your msg. If you want to add another pic, or more to your post, "enter" down a few spaces and then do the same. When you "preview" your msg, you will see the pics in your msg. Then hit the submit msg button and it will be posted on the forum page.

See below where you type your msg, see the "Optional Link URL:" and then "Name of the Link" - it may be that what you are doing is ok and putting the URL code in the top box, but you are forgetting to "Name" the Link and it is being rejected.
