Sorry laaaaaaaaaaaaa but i stopped using PB as it regularly put links to porn sites up with my pics or more usually after my videos,which is no good when there`s kids on the site. Some of the lads find Tapatalk easier to use,and i prefer to share my pics on Facebook,then transfer them from there as the security aspect is much better. Once you`ve shared your pics on FB,click on one of the pics and it will appear,bigger in it`s own box...click on it and copy the image url...paste that code on here,but you must add [img]to%20the%20start%20of%20the%20code%20and[/img] at the end.....disregard the 20 % in that code...should read to the start and at the end ( i`m no good with comps either ha)

There wont be anything on this link.
I tried putting the link up from facebook Kev ( think it was an url ) the thing on the top.
The picture never came up on here just linked to my facebook page with the picture showing, but gives access to everyone.

tried to delete this post but it wont let me, so I altered the url thing above.
Sorry to make a mess lads, just trying Kevs Tip.

Dropbox is a very good alternative to Photobucket and very easy to use

On Photobucket, You should have three choices below your chosen picture..

Email & IM
Direct
IMG

Use the one in the middle.......Direct. Copy and paste this to your avatar.
BUT, you MUST! have a picture as follows........ Maximum dimensions; width: 120 pixels, height: 120 pixels, file size: 6.00 KiB.

Hope this helps
