Photobucket for the computer challenged like "Moi"

PHOTOBUCKET for the computer challenged like "Moi"
Enroll with Photobucket "Free"
Upload your photo's,all mine are in "My Pictures" and it seamed to open up automatically when I clicked on upload.
Click on photo to high light or hold Ctrl and select all you want to upload.
Click on open and your photo's will apear in photbucket.
Move them to an album or click on add new to name a new album.
Your photo appears in the new album named.
Click on Save and Share now.
Click return to album
Repeat as required by uploading more and organising into albums.
You can find all your albums by clicking on All my Albums
To get read to enter your photo into your forum topic
Select your photo or all of them for the whole album
Select generate html and Img codes
From the generated codes list.
Click on Img images for message boards and it will go black
Press Ctrl + C together To Copy(To somewhere secret)
Go into Armortek site/Forum/and log in
Choose from the Forum list then from the topic or click on New Topic
Choose your subject tital
Then when the flashing curser is in the message box part
Click on Ctrl + V Together to Paste(from somewhere secret)
Your Img code should apear in betweenImage
Click on Preview and your picture will apear,If its on its side or upside down like mine was go back to photo bucket and edit the phot and turn it round,just like I had to do with my example.
If it doesnt apear,start again dont give in cos I know it works.
The curser will be flashing before the [Img} click enter to put a new line if you want to type in before the photo
Or type in after the Img code but make sure you have the curser below it and dont delete any of your code,other wise you will have to Press Ctrl + V to get it back again in full
After two successfull atempts one tip I can give is,get organised first with your photo's,to save going backwards and forwards too much.
If you are putting a number of phot's on,put them in one album first even if its a temporary named one and select the lot.
But you can of coarse do the all idividualy and put information in between
Thats if you are a computer masochist.
I think if you Copy with Ctrl + C When You Paste with Ctrl + V thats just what you get.
If you Ctrl + C and Ctrl + C on another photo and then Ctrl + V to paste,you get the last one copied only.
You can experiment in secret as you please with preview,just dont press submit by mistake.
This isnt a comprehensive guide to Photobucket,just a computer challenged modeler trying to help a bit.

Hi Phil
In authentic fashion snow from the previous day had collected in the tracks and as the tank lives in my garage, it turned to ice over night so the following day, when this photo was taken, I did not realise that this was the case.
So after a quarter of an hour the left track siezed up and a fuse was blown and I then had the interesting nightmare of recovering the tank! This I achieved by levering it up and on to my children's sledge, it was suprisingly easy sliding 150kgs of inert tank over the snow home to the garage.
My Tiger is going to be a Tunisian 504 so I shouldn't expect it to respond to snow too well, but when it was going it was fantastic and my work coleagues got to see what is keeping me entertained and they were impressed, not so daft after all!
Regards
Steve
