I know it can seem daunting when you first join a forum but it is easy when you know how so i thought I would post this here to give you a helping hand. Firstly get yourself an account on www.photobucket.com Next upload your pigtures there by clicking on the browse button and it will take you to your computer desktop where you can search for the pics you want to add. Then click upload. When it has been added you can then copy and paste the pics into your posts by using the link under the pic that starts with It's the fourth box down marked "IMG Code". Choose the one with http:// if you want to use them as your avatar. This is the second box down marked "direct link" (reMember avatars need to be quite small around 80 x 80 pixels) It's really easy once you know how, that is how I was the first forum I joined but someone kindly explained it to me and I never looked back. Good luck and happy posting

When your pigtures are first uploaded onto photobucket the can still be quite large. If you find that you post a pic on here and it is too big to view properly:
- Go back to your photobucket account and click on 'Edit' above the picture you posted. - Choose "25% of original size" and save.
As if by magic, your picture on here will shrink to a better viewing size witout you needing to re-post the pigture!

guineapigjude has asked me to try and explain about posting pics a bit better so here goes. When you have yourself an account you have to make your account so that anyone can view the pics so firstly you must go to account options at the top of your photobucket page, and then click on the make photos pulic button yes and then save by clicking update Hope this helps you share your pigtures Let me know if there is anything else you wish to know and I will try and help you

There is actually another site where you can upload pics to link to if you don't want to, or for some reason can't, use Photobucket. There is no limit and you don't create an account. It's totally free and you can upload as many as you want. www.imgspot.com/-kkat

I am having a terrible time trying to download pictures for the Pet of the Month. Please bear with me I am a novice at this... I have opened a photobucket account and the pictures are in there. I just can't figure out how to go from there to get the photo on the site. Could someone walk me through the final steps. Thanks. Linda

On photobucket under you photo should be three address,choose the one that starts with IMG copy it and paste it into your message and it should appear if you preview your post. Hope that is clear enough I am not very good at trying explain things. If you still can not do it sorry,hopefully someone will be on soon that is better than me at explaining.
