Can't post photos. HELP!

[SamandWill1921]

I'm still "earning my ears" and I can't post photos. I've read the how-to several times and it looks like I don't even have the button to attach photos. then my posting rules on the bottom left corner says that I may not post attachments.
Can I not post pics until I'm a "mouseketeer"? if so, how many posts until you reach that status? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To post photos, you have to upload them to a site like Photobucket first. Once you do that, you copy the IMG code for the specific picture on your Photobucket account and then paste it into your post.

Hope that helps.

I have to say that's rather silly... I have been going through these threads and seen so many photos that have been "deleted by photobucket". I don't want that to happen to me. Is there any other way?

Unfortunately, no. The ones that say that were deleted by the person who posted them, I think. I think some people forget that they have posted pics here and then cleaned out old photos from their photobucket account which causes them to no longer be viewable. I have been using Photobucket for over a year and have never had any trouble.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. My DH already has a mediafire account, so maybe that will work. If not I'll create a photobucket.

There are step by step instructions in the FAQ and Video Tutorial threads on the Welcome Board. There is a link in my signature also.

Smitch425 is correct-- most deleted photos were deleted by the account holder. I have had the photo in my signature for probably at least 5 years now with no problems and went looking for something here today that had photos I posted maybe 3-4 years ago and they are all still there. I know I have some older than that still around in threads too.
