Hi Malcolm.
To use an outside hosting site use the link below, I have been using these 12 months before PB decided to hold a ransom to our album/ photo's.

You can also use the internal photo forum by clicking on the attachments icon above what you are typing on your post, it is the icon with the paperclip.

This will open a pop up box from which you can browse your photo's on your PC.

Photo's below to help hopefully, once you have uploaded your pictures press the submit reply job done

The photo was originally on Flickr Photostream, then double click to open, share, BB code then copy and paste it. What have I done wrong??

Bluemalbert, did you say what platform you are using. Windows/Mac/Android or IOS mobile. There is a community help/ guidance for sharing photos on Flickr.

Had you set the photos viewing to restricted viewing only. See the link https://help.flickr.com/en_us/fix-pr...ickr-rklb6XiyQ

Just to put the Photobucket thing into contect, their $500 a year ransom has recently been dropped in favour of more modest charges. To compare with the main alternatives, here's PB's current offerings: http://photobucket.com/plans/

I note they've also cleaned up the site so it supposedly runs much quicker. That I haven't checked, but with competitive charges being received, they (pesumably) are dropping off a lot of the advertising baggage they had before.

In their original slim format, PhotoBucket took some beating IMO. Whether the latest weight reduction takes them back there, I'll probably not check out. I migrated elsewhere like the rest of the world's population.

As I and others have said before it’s about time the forum sorted it to make it easy like other forums have done

I apologise, I can't help you with that, as I am Apple. But maybe a Windows person can. All the best
