How to Create a Photo Album
Due to the recent upgrade to vBulletin, the previous 'create an album' thread is no longer applicable. Hopefully this will answer questions.
First, click on the User CP link
Once in your User Control Panel, find the link for "Pictures and Albums"
Now, look for the "Add Album" link
Create a title and description for your album
Once you've created your album, you're ready to add pictures to it. Click the "Add Pictures" link then click the "Browse" button to find the pictures on your computer. You can upload 3 pictures at a time. The size limit for each picture is 600x600. If possible, resize them yourself. The forum software will try to resize the pictures but it will look worse and sometimes, the forum cannot resize them
Once you've uploaded pictures, you can create a title and description for each of your pictures. Once you've completed that, you're done!

This next part will show how to post an image from your album. If you have pictures hosted elsewhere and wish to post them into a thread, Kyle has outlined how to do that IN THIS THREAD
When you click on a picture from your album, it will have two links below it. The first one is a Picture URL. If you want to link to the picture, copy the Picture URL. If you want your picture to show up in a post, copy the "BB Code" link.
Once you've copied the BB Code, you can simply paste that into a post or PM for it to show up
Once you've submitted a post with the BB Code in it, it should show up as a picture (just like all the pictures in this thread)
Hopefully, this will cut down on the amount of "How do I post pictures?" threads. If you've got any questions, please post them in this thread. Chances are, if you've got a question then others do too. If someone helps you through a private message, that doesn't help the other members of the forum.
