    When you make your post, click on the button above with the mountain and sun--the "insert image" button. In the ensuing field, paste the "direct link" from photobucket.

    Post your link on this thread. The link should be a cut or copy of the "direct link" from the photobucket site. I'll see what I can do to help you.

    Got it figured out reef sparky, thank you very much. I was trying to use the manage attachments section on advanced, didnt even know about the tabs on the post box.
