I have my pics stored in my PC thumb-drive.

I have several that are re-sized small enough for forums like this to use for an Avatar, however on this forum instead of "Browsing" for the pic needed...it wants the URL. The trouble is I can't see the URL when I open it up in Windows Photo Viewer.

Any ideas on how I can "get to" the URL so I can see it and copy it for the link?

Did you read the post at the top of this forum about posting pics? We don't allow pics to be uploaded to the forum, so you need to use an outside service - I use Photobucket - download the pic there, then get the url from there for here. For an avatar it has to be the direct link ... for pictures within the post, you need to use the img code.

It's further discussed in the post - with tutorials ... and there's the 2nd post with using it with another service. See if you can follow either of those and get back to us :)

I opened up a PB acct. and uploaded a couple of pics. Then I re-sized them. In PB it's saying they 67 X 90 sized. When I go to copy the link...here it tells me it's still some huge size. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I keep checking to see how big it is in PB, and it keeps saying it's 67 X 90.
