Does anyone know how to post pics with Photobucket?

Thought I did but one of us has gone nuts.

Mark & Pat..............

With your info the wife was able to post some pics.
This bow turned out very nice, straight up 55# and perfect tiller. 55# is too much for me so no full draw pics, I did manage to short draw the bow for a dozen or so shots and it is whisper quiet and fast.

Thanks guys for the help

James

It's a pain
In photobucket click on the pic so it goes to full page of that pic, click on the copy thing on the right, watch it say copy, click your  back button (the arrow pointing left at the top left of page)
now find you pic again, sometimes it get's lost,but find it,click and hold on the pic and drag it to the tradgang tab and release in your post, right click,paste

It gives me problems too
That's what works for me
and hold your mouth right when you do it.

put your curser on the pic and click on the cog that shows up at the top right. Click share then click on link then click the IMG code. It will turn blue then right click and copy. then x out and paste the pic on the message box.

This old Martin Mamba was well worth the time and effort to restore. Hopefully this old warrior will have many more years in the field.
