Since a few members have had trouble posting pictures in the proper size and Photobucket recently changed a few minor things on their site I thought I would make up a quick tutorial for those who may be unsure how to do this.
Ken has said in the past he would like pictures to be 640x480 or 800x600.
I occasionally use 320x240 but that is too small for most posts and 1024x768 is too big and causes many have to scroll over to see the entire picture.
For this I am doing 800x600
This is assuming you already have a photobucket account.
Once signed in you will be at your homepage.
Once there click the green upload box at the top.
That will take you to the next page where you would click to open a window and choose pictures for uploading.
Before uploading you will notice there is a Customize your upload options in blue above your albums name. Click on that.
Once you click that a window will open allowing you to choose your size preferences.
Once you choose an appropriate size don't forget to hit save. Once you do you will be back to where you click to select photos for uploading. Select your pictures, upload them.
Once they are done uploading make your way back to the main page where your pictures are stored and hover over the picture you want to upload and a pop out/drop down picture thingy will appear (ya gotta love those technical terms) that will give you different options depending on whether you are planning on posting in an email, adding a link or an IMG code for forums.
The IMG Code is what you want to have your picture appear in a forum post.
You can right click and save which is habit but you can also simply left mouse click on the code and it will copy it.
Then you paste in your thread and there's nothing more to it
