Sometimes photobucket can act up and start being real slow, so here is an easy way to post pictures using a site specialized for this:
http://postimage.org/5 Easy Steps:
1. Upload picture from your computer, or website.
2. Resize the picture to the size you want. ('640X480 for message boards' is best to use). Leave as is if the picture is the perfect size.
3. Click FAMILY Safe.
4. Click Upload it.
5. Last, copy and paste the code that is circled (if the forum uses IMG Code).
