there's a sticky near the top of the topic lists that tells how.

Under each pic in photobucket, the last deal is listed as IMG Code, just click on that, hit {ctrl} C and the go back to your post and place the cursor where you want the pic (best on it's own line), then hit {ctrl} V and viola, pics in your post.

The Album Link would be the URL at the top of the page where your album is.

For example, the link to this particular thread on the forum is:

viewtopic.php?t=6166

Look up there where you can see that text string. That is where you'd find the link to your album when you're in photobucket, looking at your pictures. So, how can you copy it? Click with your left mouse button at the right side of the URL (the test string up there) Hold the button down and drag the mouse pointer to the left until the whole string is highlighted. Release the mouse button and then click the RIGHT mouse button right over the text. A little menu should pop up. Choose "copy". It is now in your "clip board" Now answer this topic here and in the text area right click with your mouse and choose "paste" - the link should show right up.

You can now make that link "clickable" - highlight it just like you did when you copied it, only this time click on 'URL' right above the message area and the forum will insert the code necessary.

Hope this helps.
