I think this would be a good thread to tack to the top of this page.

"Hi Everyone,
This is Russ at Photobucket. I am part of our Community Outreach
Team and my job is to make sure that your forum is the best it can be. I
have noticed several posts asking how to use Photobucket to store and
link images to this forum. I created this easy to follow tutorial as an
up-to-date reference; I hope it is helpful.
Most forums require you to link to images that are stored somewhere
else on the web. This "somewhere else” is where Photobucket comes in.
Photobucket is a site that will host your images for free, and allow you
to grab the image’s linking information with just one click. It’s that
easy.
Step number one: Open your Photobucket account or register for a free Photobucket account here.
Step number two: Upload your photos to your new Photobucket account.
Step number three: Post your photo into a forum thread. There are two ways to do this, and with Photobucket, they only require one click apiece.
The first way is to use the "Insert Photo” button in the toolbar when you create a new thread or response.




First, find the photo on Photobucket in a new tab or window, locate
the "Links to share this photo” box to the right of the image, and
simply click on the bottom option, labeled "Direct”. Photobucket
automatically copies the code for you, so there’s no need to right click
and select copy from a menu.




Next, open a new thread or response in the forum and click on the
Insert Image button. A new dialogue box will appear asking you to enter
the URL address for the photo. Simply paste the info you grabbed from
Photobucket into the dialogue box and you’re done. Easy.





The other way to post a photo is to skip the Insert Photo button and
just use the BBCode, or IMG Code. Find the photo on Photobucket that
you want to link to. Then, in the "Links to share this photo” box to the
right of the photo, simply click on the third option from the top,
labeled "IMG”. This is already written in the BBCode your forum
requires, so just paste it right into the text of the thread you are
creating, and presto!





Some of you have also been asking about resizing your images. You
can resize your photos before you upload them to Photobucket, or you can
do it right from your Library.
1. Select "Edit” from the top menu, then click the photo you want to
resize. Additionally, from your Library view you can hover over the
thumbnail of the photo you want till the gear icon appears. Click the
gear and select "Edit” from the drop down menu.




2. Click the "Resize” button




3. Make sure the lock icon is selected to constrain proportions and enter the new height or width you want and click "Apply”




4. The next screen will ask you to save. Below the save button is a
box labeled "Replace Original”. If you leave this box empty, a duplicate
will be created in the new size and will need to be renamed. If you
check this box, the original will be replaced by the newly resized
image.





I hope that helps. If you have any questions or feedback on what
would make your photo hosting experience better, please send it my way.
RUSS

your pic is too large file size -
kindly do not post images over 1mb
and that 4k x 3k format is much too large to display properly
you can link to them, but post a smaller version

this is a "large thumbnail" of your original image
all I did was add a lower case "L" to your image URL



these are big - 600x800 would be better
but they are examples of sizing and cropping to show desired details
while not burning viewer bandwidth too much

Huh?  Server limit is like 3.1 MB.  You can link any size pic here if you don't upload it.

Are my pictures not showing up because of the size? Im using the IMG tags but its not working

You're not using the actual address of the image - you're using the address of the page, not the image.  The address of the image will end in .jpg

Okay, it shows up when I preview it but not when I submit. Code blocks disapear and only leave a link

Read the OP.

Wow, 50 posts; really?

.
50 posts... yeah, you need 50 of them to post images that are seen by others

but some of us can approve your pics so they can be seen
that's why some of the long-time members come into this forum

post your images here and let's see what you got
I don't care if it's funny, political, a gun, or whatever...
as long as it's COC compliant
