To me, an even simpler way is to use tinypic.com. There you browse for your picture from wherever you have them stored, such as My Pictures, pick the one you want, and upload. Then copy the top line and paste it in your message here. Tinypic does not store your pictures, as it is only a one-time action for it to do.

Testing out tinypic:

craftylady-2006 thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank yooouuu! This helped me soooo much. i had posted a message on the sewing forum, about a great idea I do when selecting fabric for an outfit to make. However, I didn't know how to put photos in, and all I had were unhilighted links. Since I'm sure my message was confusing already, not having the pictures didn't help. However, I did what you mentioned and whoopee! It worked!! I can't believe this! So, I didn't know how to insert them into the original message, so I copied the whole thing over again and put the photos in it (sorry everyone!). Thank you so much!!

You're welcome, welcome, welcome Dailycollector, LOL. I had to have help in the beginning also so don't feel alone. You can also post your whole photobucket album site into a post also. Open up your photobucket, go to the web browser line, highlight it and then go to Edit and then Copy. Go back to your msg, put your cursor where you want it to appear, go again to Edit and then to Paste. Folks will have to "copy and paste" your site page into their own web browser line - or - see below when you type a msg "Optional Link URL" and "Name of the Link" - go into your photobucket and instead of copying the HTML Code, click on the URL code and it will say Copied, go back to your msg, put your cursor in the Optional Link URL code box, go to Edit, then Paste. The code appears in that box. Remember when you are doing it this way though that you must complete the "Name of the Link" or when you hit the Preview Message button and it goes to the next page, you are going to see "Rejected" - just go back and Name the Link and then hit Preview Message again. When it goes to the second page you will see where it says "Here is a Link that Might be Useful," your URL Link will appear there when you submit the msg. Folks then only have to click on that Link in your msg and it takes them right to that particular pic in your photobucket album. Tricky huh! Not at all. Once you get the hang of it, you become the pro right away, it's simple.

And, Dailycollector - have you thought that you can "copy" any msg in the forum and then save it in your Word program (like Microsoft Word) for future reference and you won't have to go searching for certain msgs. Again, it's simple - open up the msg you want to copy, such as the pic instructions I posted above, highlight my whole msg, minimize down your online page, open up a blank page in your Word program, put your cursor on the blank page where you want the msg to appear, go to Edit, then Paste. You can then "Name" and "Save" this as a Word document for easy looking later on. Let's say you want to copy the the second part I just posted about the URL Link - minimize up your online page, find that msg, again highlight all of it, Edit, go back to your Word document, put your cursor where you want it to appear, Edit and Paste, Save your Word document.

Pics also, you can save a copy of a particular pic you like from someone's msg and then copy it into your Documents where you have your pics. Put your cursor on the pic, right click and then you can either "Copy" it into a Word document page and Save it (as I posted above), or hit "Save As" which will open up your Documents, find the File you want to Save it into, Name it, then hit Save.

Viola - now you're a pro. ENJOY!!!

(I should also mention - be careful in what you copy though, make sure things are "copyrighted" - you don't want to get into trouble. You can copy any of my msgs, they aren't copyrighted, HA!

I have to admit, I am not computer illiterate! I know how to turn it on, copy & paste, and how to open in a new window. That's about it. When I was working, I swear I would call my husband every day because I was having a problem on the computer. He started saying he was going to start charging me for the calls! I'm just so afraid I'll make a mistake and lose everything on the computer! And don't even get me started on those music things kids carry around (see, don't even know it's name :) I must be getting old! lol So, I bow to you, oh great one!

craftylady, I'm sorry. I just read what I wrote and you must think I'm a snob! I meant to say I am not computer literate!! Sorry.!

No problem Dailycollector, neither am I. I just know the basics of some things. Just trying to be helpful.
