Nice graphic CK!!! You're almost there. In photobucket, there is 3 different codes to use as a link. You want to use the HTML code----like Barry said, it is a long (paragraph long) code of gunk----and after you submit your post, it turns into a picture. I always recognize HTML code as starting with this piece of code;
^a href"http (followed by a bunch of junk like this stuff)---

The graphics we use are basically a command prompt to create a live link to images---rather than posting the images directly. The cool thing about HTML links is that they don't use much space on Polygraph Place like a direct paste graphic would. With HTML graphics, we let "photobucket" handle all of the work of supporting graphics while polygraph place is only a mirror of those graphics.
When you load a picture on photobucket, just above the picture there is a tiny bar---click "edit" and you can click "resize" your picture. You can creat your own avatars-----or you can go do a google and search the gazillions of "free avatars" sites and click and save the ones you like.
1. Take all of your favorite avatars/pictures and transfer them to photobucket.
2. Then transfer your favorites into the HTML code on a word document that you have minimized at the bottom of your screen.
3. When you are on a web forum and want to express something visually, maximize your always minimized "avatar word document" and pick from your favorites. As of now, I have some 500 or more avatars----many are my favorites. They do a better job for me of expressing my moods, be it playful or pensive than my limited writing skills.
