Linking Tagged Images
Overview: The following tutorial explains how to link a tagged image from Photobucket to your favorite website. A tag is text that uniquely identifies an image or section of an image. See What is Tagging for details.
Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder and be using a web browser that supports JavaScript and/or a web browser that has JavaScript enabled.
You must already have created tags in your account. See Getting Started with Tags for details.
Steps to Take:- Open the Photobucket site at http://www.photobucket.com
Enter your username and password at the top of the page, then click the log in button to log into your Photobucket account.
- Select the albums & upload button from the menu at the top of your album.
- Click a tag name in the Tags panel on the left side of your album. Your tags display in the panel in alphabetical order.
- Locate the Flash Code below the thumbnail image for the file you want to link.
Note: You may have to move your mouse over the media to display the codes. See How do I control the linking codes that display in my album for details.
The same code is available on the full-view page in the Share this image panel.
- Click in the field that contains the code that you want to use. If the Photobucket one-click copy is active, the yellow "Copied" box displays when you click on a code. If the yellow "Copied" box does not display, manually copy the code.
- Navigate to the place where you want your image to display, such as a forum, message board, email, instant message, etc. Paste the code into the appropriate field.
Note: Websites, message boards and forums are all different, so you may need to consult their Help or FAQ documents for further guidance on the codes they support.
