Here is how to post clickable thumbnails with photobucket.

Go to www.photobucket.com and create your account.

Then upload some pictures from your PC.

You will see a box that you can tick under the pictures you want to post.

Tick the boxes, scroll all the way down and click on "Generate HTML and IMG Code" ..

Then you can copy the "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards" and paste it here.

Small size thumbnail displayed, and big size picture for those that clicks on it !

Good luck.

Hmmm , I have opened a photobucket a/c and tried to upload a pic but got fed up and switched it off when it still hadn't finished after about 15 mins ( eircom landline Evil or Very Mad

) .
This side of things is a mystery to me but it seems to be similar to when you try to send a pic by email without re-sizing or reducing its quality first .
So , should I make a modified copy of the original then try to upload that ?
And/or can I email a pic to photob ? I am sure I read somewhere that you can but now I can't find the instructions again !
Make quality medium instead of high ?
Picture size ?
Do you have to "trim " it to that size , or can you sort of squash it up so it fits without cutting the edges off ?
Apols if I am being thick . All that strimming does something to the brain , you know . Laughing

Hi blowin, have you got any sort of photo editing software that you use?

To make pics smaller and quicker to upload you can resize and then web optimise......but save the smaller image under a different file name so you don't lose the original.
For web use max 800 pixels wide and can use much less.
Saving as a lower quality jpg will knock your file size down, or if you can web optimise to get file size of less than 100kb it'll make life much easier for upload on dial-up...
