Here's a new thread for Photobucket questions or requests.
Go wild.
***
What's wrong with right-clicking and copying the image name (or the Apple equivalent)? 
This was made in reference to the captioning thread, which has been locked.
Indeed, I have been right clicking and copying photos here and there. I am the MAD MAD MAD photo thief of GAH.com. For anyone who has ever had one of their photos turned BW before their very eyes, you know what I mean.
However, it was so much easier to quote a post and have that link there already, IMHO, than having to right click, open photobucket, upload, copy, paste.
No one can call me lazy, since I do that a lot with my noir versions, but every once in a while it was nice to just hit quote and delete....
that's why I asked.

In MS Windows: 1. Right click the image, and choose Properties 2. Highlight the URL of the image 3. Press Ctrl-C 4. Close the Properties box 5. Hit "Reply" 6. Click the Image button 7. Insert the URL you've copied between the inside brackets that appear (Ctrl-V) 8. Post Reply Voila!  |

I usually save the pictures so I can use them again anyway without having to find the post, but this will be beneficial at times too. Thanks. |

I guess I do Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V so often, it's like breathing. (Alt-Tab is too, switching between windows... )
I hate using the mouse, so I do so as little as possible, and learn short-cut keys whenever I can use them.

You know... if i had photoshop or it's equivalent, I'd be designing an avatar with a bucket with a hole in it. Then again... that's too literal. |

What do you all use if you have a photo that is too big to be used as an avatar? How do you shrink it to the right size so it is not distorted? I tried using Photobucket's resize to avatar option, but it was still squashed.
Thanks.

I tried using Photobucket's resize to avatar option, but it was still squashed. Thanks. I have to take it out, open it up in an art program and resize it to 100X100 pixels. Or, you play around with the length/height pixels, neither maximum 100 length or 100 height. |
