Hi Gerry, there is a test page you can play on. When you get an image uploaded to photobucket (full image, not the thumb), look to the right of the screen for the code. Click on the code and it will automatically copy.
Note, it pays to have the image sized to web large before uploading otherwise it can make a forum thread display oddly after displacing all of the other components on the page. Plus it then makes the page hard for people to view if they have a slow connection.
On these forums and using the photobucket system, all you need to do is hit the ctrl and V key to paste the code into the thread. You do not need to use the image buttons on the forum post tag menu (above your post).
