Well I find the easiest way it to sign up for a photobucket.com account.

After you up load a picture you copy the URL and insert it between [IMG][/IMG] tags.

jest, how come i cant my pics from photoshop to my gallery. i copy the url tag and paste it to the add photo page in my gallery and it says "wait for confirmation, it may take longer on slow network" then nothing happens. its like frozen there. so after several, several several minutes, i just cancel out.

I dunno, I gave up on the forum photo gallery long ago! [8D] All I can think is the image you are trying to upload is very large. Try a little tiny image first.

to make things easier resize your pictures and save them for "web" with photoshop. after that do what Jest said.

Kelly, you will have to save the picture to your computer, to do this to any picture on the web right click and select the option "Save Image As" then save it to an area on your computer where you will remember.. then when you want to add a photo to your gallery, click the "Browse" button right next to where you are pasting the URL for the image.. dont past.. when you click browse go ahead and find the picture and select it.. the address for the picture on your computer should show up then upload

Karl, Jest, I'd be willing to bet that your explainations, while totally accurate, may still lose someone completely unfamiliar with right/left-click/dropdown menu options, image tags, and stuff like that... You may (I say may, cause they haven't replied, yet) hafta simplify it some more... We'll see[&:]

give me 1/2 a break. i'm not TOTALLY stupid, just partially. i'm not copying a pic from the web, my pic is in "photobucket.com" and also on my computer in "my pictures" and i also e-mailed it to myself. there's just no "save as" in these places on my right click.
my problem is audiforums "my gallery" area. my pic is not to big. dont know what else to do. i can post a pic in a thread just not my gallery.
