    I used to be able to add pictures to my posts when needed using photobucket.com I'm really computer illiterate and photobucket seems to have re-done their whole system and I haven't figued out how to use it. I used to be able to move the mouse over the photo in an album I wanted to link and a drop-down menu would appear. I'd click "direct link" (if I recall correctly) and presto, my picture would appear in my advrider post. Now, I can still find my albums, but there's no drop-down menu appearing. I can't even find how to view a full size of the thumbnails while on the photobucket site. I've looked at other photo hosting websites and it doesn't seem that any of them would be easy like it used to be. Any suggestions? It's probably rather simple and I'll be embarassed when I find out what to do, but I've embarassed myself before.:lol3

    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    I just mouse over to the right side of the screen under " Links to share this album" and copy the HTML Embed just like this.

    I don't see anything like what you're describing. The only page I seem to find is really quite plain, with a long search bar at the top, and no icons(?) that produce any sort of drop-down menu. Below the search bar it has "Browse/Your Library/Upload". For some reason I think there might be another page somwhere, but even entering "photobucket.com" doesn't take me to what appears to be a "home Page" for the website. Stupidity is really hard to live with!

    flienlow....after a bit more poking around, I realized it had me trapped in a "mobile" section of their website. I don't really know how I got to the point that I could get to the Main Page, but I did, and now everything is good again.

    Thanks for the help:clap
