Posting, Linking photos on forums uses codes that look similar to the codes for Underline Bold and Italasized , you can type them manualy before and after and get the same effects as clicking the buttons, the after codes are always followed with a back slash before the letter / . The image codes uses img as the code and bringing up the rear basically this tells the forum to just link the image rather then makeing it a web link like http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r217/Mav68erick/How%20To%20PhotoBucket/PB_PostingThePasted_9.jpg where you have to manually click the link and takes you to the site or opens up another internet page.
This is using the " Free " image hosting website known as Photobucket. which can be found www.photobucket.com
[U][B][I]Numbers next to Text are corresponding with the numbers above the photos for easy reference.
1. When you go to the Site it will look like this, ( Your going to have to sign up and what not ) but after that and you have an account if you come back to the Main, Home Page you can log in here....

2. As you can see on my screen I have a few pictures in the basic non album they give you, and you can also see i have a list of sub albums on the left hand screen which you can open up individually.
3. Ok now for this example, ive already went ahead and edited in a new Album called Photobucket for my How To pictures. And when uploading to Photobucket it is alot easier to open the wanted album or folder you want the photos in and upload them where you want them, or else they will upload them to your main page and then you have to move them individually. So Ive selected the Photobucket Album

4. Now that we have opened the album its completely empty and looks like this, when I upload I tend to upload more then one picture at a time and use the bulk uploader as seen in the Picture.

6. I Usually leave everything blank and click return to Album
7. After returing to Album youill be at that album main page ( so this is the album named PhotoBucket ) and looks like this. On this page, when you hover your mouse over an image it will show you the weblinks and Image codes used on forums and other internet stuff. " If you wanna use this part to link the image when you Highlight the Image code line like in the photo your gonna have to copy the line, Control + C is copy or else you can right click copy. Other wise keep reading for an added step but thats easier.

8. Ok instead of using the Image code on that page, we simply just going to seperately select the photo we want to Link so all you have to do is select the photo you want to link and it will take you to a new page, and also blow up or zoom that photo, and that page looks like this

8. Now when you click the Image code line, it Automatically Highlights and copies it for you as shown above!
9. Now that you have the Image link Copied you just simply go to where you want to post your picture on the forums ( some forums and what not dont have image linking activated, but i think images are enabled on all the forums here ) so we go make a new Post and it that post you just need to paste your copied link with Control + V or Right Click mouse + paste
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r217/Mav68erick/How%20To%20PhotoBucket/PB_PostingThePasted_9.jpg
Now if all went well and you preview or post you should be able to see your picture!
