2 Upload your pictures
3 At the top of your picture with be a small chain icon its the link code icon , click on this
4 Select copy link code at the bottom
5 Simply paste it on your page open on soc thread , dont copy it to the url window or to the upload section .
6 Do this for each picture , its faster than you think

Edd - I have been posting pics using photobucket for years now - always found it the easiest way to show full size pics by just copy/pasting the pics URL.
As it's almost December and time to get the Decorations out - might as well post an early Xmas card that I have in Photobucket.
The top pics are a Wintry scene from former North Wales home, and bottom pics is Xmas time in Tenerife.

Edd, you forgot to add:

11. Don't ever touch your photo in Photobucket again. Make sure all your photos always remain with the same name and in the same folder forever. Never delete any and never transfer them to any other photo storage website. Otherwise anyone looking at your posts will just see a load of red crosses. (As is usual everytime you stumble on something useful in a forum somewhere that someone wrote 3 years ago and which can only be understood by seeing the pictures which the poster linked to Photobucket those three years back and which he forgot about when he tidied up his Photobucket album)

Yeh because its an URL I see what you mean. I think I will keep that one account for car things alone. I'm sure photo bucket is about for a while.
I wish I had done this from the start. I don't trust hard drives I have lost lots of pictures in the past.

Drew you are absolutely correct - I have "tidied" up my Photobucket Albums on a number of occassions deleting some photos I personally didn't need any more then later found I had posted links in this Forum some time ago which now won't show up. It might be an idea to create a separate Album for photos you are going to allow others to view and leave that one permanently intact. I categorise my Photobucket photos and have about 10 different Albums such as :-
Cars, Family, Holidays, Sundry & Misc., etc.

I don't trust hard drives I have lost lots of pictures in the past.

As an alternative try www.snapfish.com. This is run by Hewlett Packard and you can store photos in albums, share them with others, create photo albums for printing (that's how I did that storybook of my Stag restoration, Edd), create all sorts of projects and prints. They are always putting on special deals, such as 100 6x4 prints for £4.99 including VAT and P&P. You can't buy the ink & paper for that!

I have also ruined a picture on my hard drive and then downloaded the one stored on snapfish to replace it, so good idea to upload at full resolution.
