Warning - Don't use Photobucket for hosting forum images
#16
Interestingly and shamefully, you cannot use the “Download Your Bucket” option in Pb. It does not work.  I contacted Pb and they are aware of the problem.  Their solution is to view each image and download the image that you are viewing one at a time!  What a joke.  5arg
 
You can upload any image on your local computer to a forum post as an attachment, and you can place the thumbnail for that attachment anywhere in the forum text that you choose.  Placing the thumbnail for your attachment in the middle of post using the Insert Into Post button is explained here by our friendly admin.

What is currently not enabled in the forum is to display full size images in the middle of a post.  The forum software can do it, but it has some issues so it is not currently implemented.
 
Currently the only way to post full size images in the middle of a post is to host your images on another system (like Pb used to be) and then link to them.  I’m checking to see if there is another free service that allows that.  I believe that Imgur’s terms of service does not allow it, even though it may work.  I have not tried that service.
 
For now, maybe the best option is to upload images to the forum as an attachment, and like I mentioned, you can place the thumbnail for the attachment anywhere in the text of your post.
 
If anyone has any questions about this stuff please let me know or post a question.  I’m more than happy to help! Smile
