Which image code do I need to use and do I paste that into the "attachment" section?

The one that says IMG code for forums and boards and just paste it where you type in the blue area of the thread you are creating.

Is there a way to upload an entire album without doing each picture?

I don't think so but you can open a folder and hold the Ctrl key while clicking each picture you want to upload then just hit enter or click open.

The new version of photobucket allows you to "Drag n' Drop".  Like Kaymaster said ... hold the Ctrl key while clicking each picture you want to upload then ... just drag it in the window  :)

Nice pictorial KM. For me and some others the default image code in the new PB included the URL link too, if you post this, when your photos are clicked on in here it will take you back to the members PB account. Some were just deleting to URL link. Here is an easy fix I posted in another thread that works. Don

For all who use photobucket and want to get back to just the image code without the linkback it's an easy fix. Just click on a photo in one of your albums. Under Image Links below the three windows you'll see in blue, update image links, Click on it. Now uncheck Easy Linking Mode and Link Back Option and save it. Now when you click on a photo the bottom window will just have the image code without the URL linkback. This changes it for all albums. That's a lot easier than having to delete the URL when posting. For me photobucket is getting better, I used to have lockups but that seems to have gone away. It's just hard to learn new systems that you have used for a long time. Smokin Don

I never seem to have any luck taking photos from the photobucket and placing them in my avatar.
The photos always seem to get reformated (SQUISHED) sideways.
Take a look at my present plate of bacon, eggs and Spam. See what I mean? The plate doesn't come out very round.
Any ideas?

I know we have several folks that are really savvy with the use of Photobucket and  various photo processing programs. I would PM or e-mail Capt Jack and see if you can provide any insight.

upload it directly from your computer to the forum. Under the profile tab click forum profile then select upload a avatar then click browse and find the picture on your computer and upload it.

Yes ask T what is max size for avatars. Go to shrinkpictures.com  and follow the directions. Then use the resized picture for your avatar. easy peasy!

Just a comment for those folks who don't use Photobucket for hosting their images, you can still imbed them into your posts; right click on the image, select properties and when the properties box comes up, highlight (make sure you highlight the entire address), then right click the Address(URL) and select copy. When you go to the post you wish to make, click on the Insert Image icon and (http://) will insert itself into your post. Paste the URL that you copied in the middle and when you hit post, you image will be there. :)

T, what's the best size for avatar photos?

Think 1024 x 8860 (?) if that does not do it - try 640 x 480.....

T - I just took a look at yours - it's 150 x 200 pixels.

In an attempt to establish an ideal pixel ratio, say 3:4, so the photo proportions aren't changed when they post as an avatar I measured some by capturing screens and extracting them.  There appear to be various sized avatars. 

(http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq206/pmillen/212x281.jpg)   (http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq206/pmillen/225x210.jpg)   (http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/qq206/pmillen/225x255.jpg)
               212 x 281                                          225 x 210                      225 x 255 (she's not that heavy)

So, there must be some ideal ratio where the photo won't be distorted.  Does anyone have the solution?

BTW, if you can't tell, I don't know a thing about photography or commercial art so I'll admit that my methodology may be flawed.

Edit:  Corrected word choice.

Tee, you probably already know this, but in the forum admin area, if you go to the Forum --> Attachments and avatars --> Avatar settings, you can set the maximum width you want and leave the maximum height blank (zero).  Then in the "If the avatar is too large" setting, set to "Let HTML resize it", the forum software will automatically resize the image to the width you desire, and because you did not specify the height setting, the avatar should be properly proportioned.

I need some update instructions on how to post multiple pictures using Photobucket.  I did not have any problems in the past, but can only get one picture to post at a time.

Well, getting pics here through PB on this PC works, just have to work on sizing. Doing it from the I-Pad is not going so well. I'll keep at it...

Avatar Picture Size Settings


The maximum size for avatar pictures is currently set to:   

Width: 160 pixels

Height: 184 pixels 


Any pictures bigger than that (in either dimension), are adjusted by the forum software in the HTML code.
