Using the Photobucket Icon from the Message Toolbar to Insert an Image from your Photobucket Account.
1) Click New Topic if creating a new thread, or click on Reply at the top or bottom of an existing thread. Do not use Quick Reply or you won't get the Message Toolbar.
2) Click on the Photobucket icon.
3) The first time you use it, you will need to sign into your Photobucket account.
If you have more than one Photobucket account, after clicking on the Photobucket icon in the message toolbar, you can click on Log Out if you are already signed in. Log in with the account you want to access.
4) Click on the drop down arrow adjacent to Album and select the Album you require.
5) If you have more than one Album or Sub Albums, click the drop down arrow enough times until you reach the required Album.
Between each selection, the screen will flicker so wait until that happens before clicking the arrow again. It takes a couple of seconds for it to register.
6) Once you reach an album with images in it, the message "There is no content in this album" will disappear and you will see the first of the thumbnails in that particular album.
This is where it helps to know your images as they are not as clear as they are when viewing them directly in your Photobucket Album, although you can click on Zoom to get a closer look.
7) Use the single arrow to move forward > or backwards < to the next/previous six images or the double arrows to move to the very end >> and vice versa <<.
8) Click once on the thumbnail of the image you wish to insert into your message. A blue border will appear around it, as in the screenshot above, then click on Insert Media.
If for some reason Insert Media does not work, click on Zoom below the thumbnail. This will open/enlarge the image then you can right click on it, then left click on Copy. In your message, Control v to paste it.
If you have not yet uploaded your image to Photobucket, you can do that without the need to go to your Photobucket site separately.
Using the drop down arrow as above, locate the album in which you wish to place your image. Click on Browse. Locate the image on your computer, double click on it, then click on Upload. You may proceed from there.
If, when viewing your thumbnails, you get lost or confused, easy to do if you have a lot of albums and/or lots of images in one album, you can click on View Album to view your images. Click on the required thumbnail and copy and paste as above.
This is still a neat way of accessing your Album as Aimoo will open it in a separate window.
These are wonderful instructions on uploading photobucket images.... Sometimes mine works , sometimes it doesnt.......I find it doesnt work when trying to upload media ( image ) from sub albums...... Wish it would though, I love the feature, Bobbisox
Bobbisox, Insert Media is not working in two of my three forums and I know it doesn't work for some others, which is why I added a paragraph about it, ie click on Zoom then copy and paste.
The issue has been reported and I am hoping it will be fixed soon.
Status: might be here, might not be, who can tell, lol
I'm not sure I fully understand what you're asking cadd, but check your settings. go to your forum control panel and in the preferences bit scroll down to the Thread section. Make sure the first box is set to "advanced" rather than "simple" as the simple option cuts down on the choices available when replying
This is great instructions. I have posted instructions without the screen shots and some just do not get it. I will refer them to this message. Thanks Lisa
In all my groups I belong to on Aimoo, posting directly from my Photobucket works great...never fails EXCEPT in one group...In that one group, it NEVER works!! Why would that be???? Does it mean that some how, some way, for some really odd reason the admin. has that option disabled? I can't understand why that one group is the ONLY place in Aimoo that it doesn't work....makes no sense to me at all.
As I said, it works in one of my Forums and not the other. Luck of the draw I guess, but I wish it would get fixed. Maybe it's because both Forums are on different Servers. The one that does not work is on Server 2.

I was wondering also if it is just a problem with server 2. Do you think they will ever fix it?
Insert Media does not work in my Forum on Server 2, but it does work in my other Forum which is on Server 1.
Therefore I don't feel the problem is with Photobucket.
I would love to have it fixed in my family group. It worked for a few days when I created the Forum on 2nd November then it stopped working. After clicking on the thumbnail, nothing happens when I click on Insert Media. All is well up until that point then it gives up and the image does not appear.
Just tried this pic in my group on server 2 and it did not work but as you can see it works here. I don't see how this can be Photobucket's problem because it works here. Babs I don't believe this will ever be corrected.
Would you please open the browser , and access Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced > to tick ""overrid automatic cooking handle"? Please give it a try:)
I changed my internet options. I have the toolbar in here but not in my group. Server issue? If so when will it be fixed. I have members not too happy with it.
