mike.. below is a screen shot that i took from my photobucket account...
once you have the pictures uploaded like so..
all you have do is click once on the third box under the picture labeled
IMG CODE , photobucket is setup so one right click will simulate you highlighting and copying the link.. then go to your post like this and place your mouse where you would like to add the picture in your text, then right click and select paste.. and it will then copy the link to your pic into your post.. and when you save your post.. the pic will automatic display when your post is viewed..
if you have any questions.. just let me know...
