Shaaaady! Thanks for the heads-up, SDS! ^_^ I had noticed a couple of my pictures coming out huge, but I figured it was a temporary glitch. I'll be sure to resize all future pics!

So Photobucket has an program that will automatically add watermarks to your pics? Forgive my ignorance, but where, and how? I don't use Photobucket that often, but I would like to figure out how to watermark my pics using Photobucket so some scammer doesn't reuse them on Ebay.

Yes, and it's pretty simple to use.  All it takes is for you to upload your picture/pictures.  Once it is uploaded there is the option to edit. Click edit, then click Advanced Editor, a window will pop up with your tool options.  If you click the Big A it will take you into where you can type your text.  Just type in your name or whatever title you are using for your pictures, you can also change the font, color, size etc.  Click ok, save and you are good to go.

I hope that made sense 

Yes, it makes sense! I was able to find and do this with a sample pic. Thanks for the help! I watermarked a sample pic for a test run and now I'm good to go (and I am really tempted to add the phrase "NOT FOR SALE ON EBAY" somewhere in the pic as well).

I'm glad you mods do such a great job

Ahhhhh sounds like I will be adding watermarks from now on!    I like the "NOT FOR SALE ON EBAY" idea!

Or heck, even just adding "Not for sale." Several times in the past I've posted up pics of something, only to have people PM me about it asking to buy it. Nip it in the bud, so to speak.

I like the idea of watermarking with your username - its usually easy enough to id who it belongs to then

I'm going to have to remember those tags to make the images smaller. Mine always have to be resized.   


*edit* Hmmmmmm.... I can't get it to work on a pic I just posted

Code: [Select]

[img width=600] picture here [/img]
There needs to be a space between img and width. No space between the equal sign, either side.  Also, the "width" cannot be capitalized (I learned that yesterday).

Got it now! Thank you!

Excellent!
