How to use Photo Bucket

[Hocuspocus]

Using Photo Bucket to show your Documents
(Never deface your Original copies)

Your Agreements will be essential viewing for other members to give the best advice they can.

1. Scan your image or load up from camera (open Photo Editor, upload from scanner or camera in the File selector)
2. Once on the PC and open in Photo Editor ( a programme that allows you to adjust colours and sizes) you can actually upload direct to these programmes if you wish
3. Select Image in the tool bar.
4. Select resize from the drop down menu
5. A box will appear in the middle of the screen.
6. Change the lower box to 800 pixels and you will see the top box adjust automatically
7. NOTE: you must delete all personal details names/address/account number and their Reference numbers, basically anything you can be connected with Before posting
8. To do this Select the square of broken lines by the spy glass in the tool bar, it will allow you to use your mouse to cover the details with this square and cut them out.
9. Re-save again selecting the same name to overwrite the last copy
10. Open an account in photo bucket below

11. http://photobucket.com/login
12. Once inside Photo bucket you can make and manage folders. (I suggest you start as you wish to continue, as moving a photo from one folder to another after posting it on forums, will cause the picture to disappear.)

Folder Suggestions
Banks …inside = Sub Folders, (one for each company with in the main Bank Folder)
Bank name subfolders...inside = contact folders - as you may have more than one complaint with any one bank EG: Lloyds could hold 3 x folders (mortgage/ collections/ card.)

By creating a Separate main Bank folder you are left with the remaining space in Photo Bucket to upload other things you would like to share with family and friends.


13. Once inside Photo Bucket upload your image.
14. Highlight the last line below the picture.
15. Copy and paste this line into your post
16. View your post and DOUBLE CHECK for personal details
17. If any found delete copy in your post and Photo bucket
18. Re-edit and start again.

WARNING IF you have your account set as public, viewers can find a way to view inside your Album.
Go to Account Options top right hand corner in your photobucket account.
Choose the 3rd section down, Album settings.
Second line down states, This album is
Select edit my Album settings ( the bold blue writing )
Select Private on the first choice question.

Hi Hocuspocus--excellent post!

A few questions if I may---I am almost ready to restart my PPP thread here after getting transcripts ( or confirmation that there aren't any)!!

But back to technical things!! Especially as I am just into Photobucket on Ms Ellies Sofa Thread "over the other road"

I gather you can insert a Link or a Picture--OK

If you move the the source to another folder, you say that the link will be erroneous--Does that apply for Inserted Pictures?

Also, If I put my scanned docs in Folder "MYBANKDOCS" (say) for public viewing (or perhaps CCS only if thats possible)--How do I arrange it so my family photos are not available to everyone?

Thanks

Turbo
