Give me plans, tell me what  you want to make, and I can do it. 

But posting pictures (let alone "clickable links") FORGET IT.  I hate picturetrail, the advertising drives me nuts and I've never been successful in any of my attempts.  Just stupid, I guess.  I understand your frustration, but am of no use in any practical sense.  Sorry.

Posted by Big John in ALL NUBIES CLICK HERE. Great thread BTW.

Posting pictures is a big PITA. But a necessary PITA. Seems like they take up a ton of memory. So the masters ask that we use a service called Photobucket. How to use photobucket is explained here

Hdflame  did a great job explaining how to use photobucket but it still can be very confusing. Getting your photos onto photobucket is the easy part. Just follow their instructions. Posting them onto the forum is the hard part. IMO.

If this is the problem your experiencing let me know and I will try to give you a step by step instruction on how to do it.

I think you mean that you hate Photobucket (right?).
When I click on pics that others have posted here through Photobucket or Picturetrail, I don't get any pop-up ads.
Do you guys get a lot of ads when you click on my Photobucket-linked pics?
Does it depend on what type of pop-up blocker your computer has?

See if this explanation is any clearer:
After you've uploaded a pic on Photobucket, move your cursor over the pic until you see several thumbnail options. Click on the IMG thumb code. The word "copied" will briefly appear. Then come back here to your message box and right click/paste.

Yes, I did mean photobucket.  (what a goofball)
