Okay, I’ll admit that I was a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer, really), but it’s not that hard, really, I promise. (There are several ways to do this. Just follow the sound of my voice…)
If you’ve been able to upload one or more photos (the green lozenge in Photobucket), you’re halfway there…
Go to the Photobucket Album page and click on the thumbnail. This brings up a viewing window.
In another tab/window, fire-up the FSM forum composition panel you want to post into. Compose. When you’re ready to insert your photo…
Go back to the Photobucket tab. Highlight the SECOND entry (the Direct Link button). Do NOT do anything that disturbs the copy buffer.
Once again, go to the FSM post-in-progress. On the SECOND tier of the message control bar, the TWELFTH icon, the aqua-colored one that looks like a swatch of film (you remember film? But I digress…) It says ‘Insert Media’… CLICK IT.
Another panel opens! You’re almost there…
‘Send’ (Ctrl-V) the URL you copied from Photobucket four steps back. The ‘Insert Media’ panel closes and your image is inserted, like this…
This grainy satellite photo shows a facility that we
suspect is an enriching plastic to weapons grade.
THAT’S IT! The rest is just the fiddly bits & formatting,
which I know you already know.
