how to post pictures

[rapier]

When you use the attachment function to upload pics, use a ‘resizer’ to reduce the size of the file / pixels, so any forum / board doesn’t struggle to load it. I use one that’s part of Windows, direct from my desktop/laptop folder that stores my pics (the menu shown is found by right clicking the mouse, hovering over/on the pic you need to resize), but there are others available too. Hope this helps.

Next time, I’ll try the "attachment" thing. I didn’t know about that and it sounds a lot faster then messing with photobucket.

Yes, much quicker and more simple – all you’re doing is pulling in pics from your own pc/laptop/phone, rather than an external repository. Size matters though, as pic files can be high resolution => high megabyte, which unless you really need the detail to show someone, can take up lots of board space.

Photobucket has disabled my account too, so I’m looking for another hosting site too. Their site was awful for the past while, so I say let em crash and burn. My bet they are trying to take peoples money then close it down anyway (taking advantage of those with tons of photos they dont want to lose/move elswhere
