Not sure how to do something? It's probably detailed here.

Photobucket: Posting clickable thumbnail links

Postby EdT. on Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:21 am

Photobucket makes it extraordinarily easy to post clickable thumbnail links to your photographs here (or in other BBCODE enabled forums). Follow along below for a quick how to.

Log in to your photobucket account and go to any of your albums. At the bottom of any photo you'll see a link for "Link options":

Clicking on it will pop up a little options window. Under the "IMG for bulletin boards & forums" section make sure the 'Clickable thumbnail' checkbox is checked then click on the 'Save' button:

Image

This only has to be done once. Now whenever you go to see your photo album, you'll have the 'IMG thumb' code right underneath it. Just click inside the textbox next to 'IMG thumb' and the code will automatically be highlighted. Then just copy it and paste it in your post.

Voila!

A good question came up about this-
Do you paste it in as an Img, as Code, as a URL, or just paste it in the middle of our text?

No extra codes necessary, just copy it in the middle of your text. Although on a separate line would probably be cleaner. For example:

**********BEGINNING OF EXAMPLE*********
Hello,

Blah blah blah blah blah, here's the picture I'm referring to:

here's where you would paste the code you got from photobucket

Blah blah blah.

Regards,
User
**************END OF EXAMPLE*************
Cheers,
