Don't you hate it when that happens?????

Keep plugging away....you'll have this process licked pretty soon.  At least your first one worked.

When you use the "unbroken chain link" in the icons above the message field, your photo's "address" goes into the top field that shows up and then one chooses the "open with new window" in the "Target" field.  You may have to click on the "pull-down" arrow to see the correct option.

Here is the link to the instructions that I wrote up and posted about embedding photos.

Guidelines Regarding Embedding Photos Into Forum Posts

In those instructions, the very first image shows a "box" with four different "addresses" to link.  When you go into Photobucket and click on the thumbnail of the photo you want to embed, you'll see that box with the addresses to the right of the "larger" picture.  Photobucket is a bit funny at times, but the idea is that all you have to do is left-click with your mouse on that bottom address which is called "IMG Code."  When one clicks on that, the address should "disappear" for a bit and you'll see a message saying something like "copied."  When that occurs, the address is then "copied" and all you then have to do is go to the body of your message and type in a title for the photo.  Then, highlight the "title" and then use the "chain link" box to embed the photo.

If you still have questions, feel free to PM me and we'll see what we can do to help you.  One thing that I always do is open a second browser or browser window to bring Photobucket up on.  Then I can just switch back and forth without having to log out of one place and log back into RV Dreams.

Good Luck
