Hoping someone here could give a step by step instructions for using Photobucket for posting pictures here. It used to be real easy.

Photobucket is not free anymore, alternative is Postimage (https://postimages.org) which is free.

Here are the step-by-steps:

Thank you for your information.

I still find value in the Photobucket and maintain an account there.
Was looking for instructions for Photobucket.

Scott,

Do you have a paid Photobucket subscription? If you don't, I'm sorry to say your images are basically being held hostage. If you do have a paid subscription, there should be a share function with the image and you can get the jpeg URL inserted within the image code Image required for most of these forums (including the WI Fly Fishing Page).

I still have a free Photobucket account but it will no longer allow me to share photos on forums such as this -- the share button is disabled and a good percentage of the gallery is blurred out. The photos are still there (in my case, almost 20 years worth) but there's nothing you can do with them other than download them back onto your computer -- except the blurred out ones inexplicably.

Photobucket's change in policy has forced many of us to seek new free image hosting sites like mentioned above.

For years now, unless you have a valuable photo library and want to pay for an archive service, PB has been self-suicidal. Quite successfully also.
