Photobucket has somehow worked it so that clicking in any of the little boxes that give URLs, image tags, or html tags automatically copies it without you having to enter the command yourself. I do not know how they did this, but they did, so all you have to do is the paste command wherever you want to put it. Paste command is either pressing Ctrl and V at the same time, right clicking for the pop-up menu and clicking on paste, or going to the edit menu at the top of the window and selecting paste. Ctrl+V is my preferred command because it's just faster. I'm a keyboard person more than a mouse person (unless I'm playing games, but I'm trying to keep it simple) so it's a matter of preference.
Stop worrying about the clipboard. Do not focus on the clipboard. The clipboard isn't real, it's just a computer term. You do not need to find the clipboard or use the clipboard, you just need the paste command (and in some places that aren't photobucket, the copy command, which on the keyboard is Ctrl+C if you're wondering)
I hope that wasn't too long and/or complex...

You confused her talking about the clipboard, Penguin! Why you gotta put all the geek-speak technobabble in your tutorial?? Why can't you learn to just keep things simple??

quick question: why won't my old avatar go away? (and just so you know I did click the button for "none")

Why is the rum always gone?

Thanks for the tutorial. I've been scratching my head for weeks, trying to figure this out.

If i dont have a photbuvket account but do have the images hosted elsewhere will it work if i just do the same thing with the image? Or is there something special about photbucket i'm not getting?
