I've been trying to post my work in here, but it doesn't work. I read the directions and tried to follow them. I tried FB picture links, was told that wouldn't work, and Flickr was suggested. I loaded my pics to Flickr, and that didn't work. So I opened a Photobucket account and loaded my pictures there. I copied and pasted the IMG link as the directions specified, and STILL nothing showed up. I'm done. This site just sucks, so I'm going to eliminate all record that I was ever here.

Sorry that it didn't work for you. Obviously there was something that you were doing wrong and most any of us on the forum would have been glad to help you out before it got to the point of you pulling a Cartman on us.
ps - the offer still stands to help out with the photo posting if you decide you want to come back and give it a shot.

I use tinypic and haven't had a problem for years, and I use an old laptop. I've also used photo bucket but find tinypic is simpler for me.

I haven't used Flickr, but I used to use the direct link method for posting my photobucket pics (or the cartman pic above). Copy the Direct from your photobucket pic, choose the image icon as shown below and paste your diret link into the window.
Hope you come back and that helps.
If you have the direct link (url) to your image you can also use the image posting button in the posting toolbar. Just click the button with the image icon and then paste the Image URL to your image in the field that appears.
After clicking the button above, this pop up window will display...

At 7 posts in, i'm thinking maybe the OP didn't try as relentlessly as he led on? I'm wondering if he isn't using IE, or... TBH, i think flickr is a bigger problem, as that's the only site where I can't just post pics direct-link style from other ppl's photostream. I use snapfish, b/c it's free, and it works on here and similar forums.
@Capn Dan , are these your bikes?

On flickr just use the little arrow on the bottom right to share, click it then choose size and just copy the link that appears in there. Then paste that link in the post window here and done. No link button need for those flickr link pastes. Luke the Joker helped me out when I first started.

Cartman always comes back to play with the other kids.
The only thing I would add is when you have the desired image full size in photobucket, there are 4 "share links" on the right side of the page. Left click on the second from top box, marked "direct"I haven't used Flickr, but I used to use the direct link method for posting my photobucket pics (or the cartman pic above).

it turns yellow briefly and says "copied". Now paste it into your RRB post like Kingfish says above and yer done.
$20 for the pro membership is the only way to go , $20 isn't anything and we all spend way more than that on other stuff for our bikes , and hands down this is by far the best site on the web , just because he had trouble uploading pictures is no cause to say this site is bad , ASK FOR HELP , anyone on here would help

I think the issue he ran into was he was trying to do it off a phone or tablet, I have both a galaxy phone and iPad tablet and I'm unable to post pictures using either one. I have to actually get my laptop out in order to go on photobucket and click the image button on photobucket. I agree pro membership all the way. That's my next step.
I have not had any issue with photobucket, unless it was a photobucket problem, not a forum issue. I just go to my photobucket picture, click on the "direct link" button to the right of the pic. Then paste that onto the site. Yeah, I think it will be smarter to just go to one of the other hundreds of ratrod bicycle sites. Oh, wait...(followed by the sound of a cricket riding a tumbleweed)
