I'm trying to use Photobucket to upload some pics I've done. And I don't know how. Please help!

Thanks!

You can't use photobucket in the gallery; you have to use the attachment system and CAA automatically makes the thumbnail for you.

Yup yup, that's the way if you want thumbnails. If you just wanted to link to a picture in some other post then you could store it on Photobucket and then post the link up for people to click on. But for the gallery you use the CAA system. :)

Uh.. do you mean you want to make a custom image link? [something not uploaded into the gallery, basically.. XD]
Example: Image or Image

Well.. in Photobucket, after you upload your image from either file or url, you should get three links. One's just the image link(url), the other is coding you use on the normal web (tag), and the last one is for forums such as CAA (img). But uh.. anyways... If you want to make a thumbnail with a link to the original image.. use this code....

For CAA:
[PHP][url=ORIGINAL IMAGE URL][img]THUMBNAIL%20IMAGE%20URL[/img][/url][/PHP]
And if you want to know how to get the thumbnail image's url...
Firefox: Right-click on the thumbnail image --> Copy Image Location --> Paste
Internet Explorer: Right-click on the thumbnail image --> Properties --> Highlight and copy the url for "Address (URL)" --> Paste
