so this is something i have noticed pops up on here quite a lot, a question people ask when making their trip reports.... and this is of course how to post your lovely pictures to the site,
and so, I decided I would try and make a mini tutorial on how to do this.... I am primarily on a mac, but am aware that many of you will be running windows so took a quick lend of my dads pc, which is running windows xp but the steps are exactly the same on windows 7/vista (I have posted from windows 7 and vista before so I know it works)
Mac:
[spoiler:2gc6z4ny]ok so your running a mac and want to show your pictures from your last trip to Disneyland? first thing is first, get your images onto your computer, where you save them to is entirely up to you.
next open your browser, in my case its firefox, and to go photobucket...
once on photobucket you either need to sign in or sign up for an account on the site... don't worry its free!
next you will get a page that looks something like this you need to click on the big green button up the top of the page that says 'upload'
you will be taken to a screen like this..... click on select photo's and videos (again its a big green button)
you will get a pop up box like this....
what you now need to do is find your photos (in the file you saved them to) once in the file, select the photos you want to upload (you can upload more than one at once by holding the 'cmd' key down on your keyboard and selecting the images (the command key is the one right next to your space bar on either side)
when you have finished selecting click 'open' (at the bottom of the pop up box) and your images should upload
for the sake of this tutorial i have uploaded a photo of me and my sister taken of us in Disneyland last time we went....
when your photos have finished uploading they will be listed at the bottom under the last box you saw (the one with the uploading bar in it)

Windows
[spoiler:2gc6z4ny]ok so your running windows and want to show your pictures from your last trip to Disneyland? first thing is first, get your images onto your computer, where you save them to is entirely up to you.
next open your browser, in this case its internet explorer, and to go photobucket...
once on photobucket you either need to sign in or sign up for an account on the site... don't worry its free!
next you will get a page that looks something like this you need to click on the big green button up the top of the page that says 'upload'
you will be taken to a screen like this..... click on select photo's and videos (again its a big green button)
you will get a pop up box like this....
what you now need to do is find your photos (in the file you saved them to) once in the file, select the photos you want to upload (you can upload more than one at once by holding the 'ctrl' key down on your keyboard and selecting the images (the control key is the one right on the ends of the 'letter section of your keyboard)
when you have finished selecting click 'open' (at the bottom of the pop up box) and your images should upload
(the picture uploaded really quick so the upload was acutally finished by the time i got the shot)

**from here on the steps on both a mac and windows are exactly the same**[spoiler:2gc6z4ny]click whichever one you want to upload onto the forum first. this will take you into viewing the picture, you need to click where it says links which is to the right of your image, click on the img code and it will copy the link for you
you also have the choice to copy it from this screen too.... hover over the photo, and again click on the img code
your almost done and you are now ready to post your image onto the forum. open up a new tab and load up the forum, follow the usual steps to beginning a post (if you havn't already done this) and type your message (if you have one) then paste the img code it will look something like this.... (without the spaces i also had to remove the [ ] from around the word img to get it to post right )

posting without the spaces in the code will give you this....
