Forgive me, I’m kind of computer illiterate. I want to post full size pics in a thread, not thumbnails. I know they need to be linked through photobucket, and I’ve got my account already but this is were it all goes gray. I have no idea how to link/post them to the X Can anyone explain, step by step how to do this? (in as much detail as possible, remember I’m not so good with computers and whats obvious to most goes over my head)

Thanks

I've never used photobucket, only Picasa (google) and you can't embed anything over 800px which is the same as what the forum resizes to.

Also, embedding full size pics really screws up the layout for people running lower resolution.

Find a pic you like on the web, or upload one to photobucket or any other hosting site, then right-click the picture and "copy image location" or whatever that option is for your browser.

Then, in a post, put
around the address you copied, like
