How to post photos from Flickr and Photobucket on the PC
FLICKR(Scroll down for Photobucket)
It is easy to post a photo from your flickr photostream.
1. Using Fire Fox Browser, go to your flicker page that has the photo you want to share. For my example I have chosen a photo from OrchidTalk's Flickr page. Max | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
2. While on the page, right click in the white area of the page (not the image) and choose "View Page Info"
3. A popup window opens that will have some tabs. Choose the "Media Tab" by clicking on it.
4. Select the first link in the list under this tab by clicking on it one time. You will notice in the window of this popup that you get a
preview of the images on the page. Using your down arrow key, click the down arrow until the image you want to share appears in the window. In my example this would be:
http:// farm4.static.flickr.com/ 3416/5765778375_3e02345c07_z. jpg
5. Finally, to share in the forum, take the new URL of the exact image and put the image code around it like this:
[img]http:// farm4.static.flickr.com/ 3416/5765778375_3e02345c07_z. jpg[/img]
6. This will create the photo in our forum like this:
7. Please remember that our server saves a copy of this photo and that we do not allow back links to these commercial sites.
PHOTOBUCKET
It is really easy to post a photo from your photobucket photostream.
1. Using Fire Fox Browser, go to your photobucket page that has the photo you want to share. For this example we will use the OrchidTalk Photobucket page: OrchidTalk On Photobucket
2. While on the page, right click on the image and choose "View image"
3. The image will open by itself in the browser window.
4. Select the URL in the address bar at the top of the page. This will be a direct link to the photo and not the photo's page on Photobucket. http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r738/OrchidTalk/6c006c08-832b-4080-991b-3142a03e9695_zps00ba5326 jpg
5. Finally, to share in the forum, take the new URL of the exact image and put the image code around it like this:

Alternatively, if you don't have Firefox, simply click on the DIRECT image link in the box as in the photo below. Enter this into the pop-up here on OrchidTalk to post your photo without the back link.
Please also remember to only post up to 4 (four) photos in a single post. Some people still access the forum through slower internet connections. More than four images causes their page to load very slowly. RESPECT!
Good luck.!
Cheers,
