When posting, use the "Insert Hyperlink" button (it's the one with the picture of the world) and paste the URL of your image between the brackets.

There's also a FAQ here

There are also instructions at photobucket on how to use the different formats.

It would be helpful to others though, not matter how you show the pics, try no to display them too large otherwise folks have to scroll around to see the pics and read any accompanying text.

Just copy and paste the "[IMG]" line underneath the picture in your photobucket album to your post on the forum and the image will appear in your post.

You don't have to resize if you host the picture externally - only if you upload them to the site. To save us server space, uploaded pix are limited to 80k.
