OK.  You know how to open a new post here and you know how to insert an image.  So all you need is the link to paste into the "insert image" box.
 
To get that, open another browser tab, log into Photobucket, go your album on the site, click on the pic you want to post and underneath are four options for "share", and the third one down is "direct link". Click on that and it automatically copies the link for you. 
 
Then go back to your post, click on "insert image" and when the little box opens, put your cursor in it and right click to bring up the menu, then select "paste".  And Robert's your mother's brother! 
 
Have a go.

Oh dear.  Right, back to basics.  Log into Photobucket.  Open your album and click on the pic you want to post here.  Now, underneath that pic should appear your options for "share" with four lines that each have a link.  The top one says something like "Email and IM" and the third line down says "direct link".  Just click on "direct link" and it should copy the link for you.  If not, then put your cursor on the link and right click to get a little menu and select "copy" from there by putting the cursor on the word "copy" and left clicking it.
 
When you are in your opened post on here, click on the "insert image" button and a tiny window opens, where you can put your cursor, right click and select "paste" and your copied link should appear.  Make sure you don't leave the little "http" bit that automatically comes up in the tiny window - it's already included in your copied link.
 
Have another go!   O0  It's a bit fiddly, but once you get the hang of it it's dead easy.

 ;D  I can faintly hear the Hallelujah Chorus echoing from Bolton.....  Good for you!  It took me a few goes to get the hang of the right link and then my PC got all huffy about opening the pop up for the insert image button, so I had to remember to open my post, open the second tab, go fetch the link, disable my pop up blocker and paste it in.....  got a bit sweary once or twice... ;)

No you're not.  Nobody is born able to import pics from Photobucket - everyone learns the same way - it's just some of us laugh more as we get there!   O0

At least one  :o  if I get really cross.  ;D I never swear at people, never call names, never swear in public or in front of children/grannies/vicars/strangers/work people, but some days, when it seems to be "Annoy Cupcake Day" and everyone knew except me...... on those days, I go somewhere quiet and alone and use all the bad words I know in one long string until I run out of breath.  Then I feel better.
 
Research shows that swearing uses areas of the brain that actually diminish pain, so swearing when you hammer your thumb reduces the time for which it hurts like mad.  So there's some defence for my complete obscenity in the face of mental anguish...... well, that's my story anyway.  O0
