photobuckets crap, the pictures are small, takes a while to load and gets removed or deleted automatically after about 6 months or so, just store them in a folder on yur desktop or a cd and put them on the forum by using the "add photographs" method
The advantage of uploading photos directly to the forum is they load quickly, they resize to fit the page so you don't need to scroll to read the text, and they don't get deleted so someone viewing the forum in the future can see what you were talking about. Far too many "Image has been deleted or removed by photobucket" icons on older posts.
cheers guys . Iv just sat and put 1000s of photos on cds and logged the how sad lol , i 'll look into uploading straight to forum ;-] thanks for the link malcolm
