First step: Register On http://www.photobucket.com


1. visit http://register.photobucket.com/?ref=headerregister

2. Fill out the username you wish and choose a password.

3. Fill out the informations which the site wants from your ( first name etc )
You can choose random names like " ABC123 " since it doesn't matter
Your email doesn't have to be correct too, but I'd recommend if you lose your password.

4. Click the " I accept. Sign me up! " button.

Your now in your Photobucket - Photo Album

It should look like this:

Graphic 1






Second step: Creating Your Needlist In .jpg Format


1. Open a graphic program ( I'd recommend paint ).

Here is a list of programs which you can use:

• Paint [ everybody should have this ]
• GIMP [ free / google ]
• Photoshop [ you have to pay for that ]

2. Choose the text tool:
It's normally an "A" or a "T", click on it !

3. Click on the white area and draw a rectangle where your text ( Need/Offer list ) should be written.

4. Write your Need/Offer list.

5. Save it: File Save under: Fill in the name ( for example: NEEDLIST123 ) and choose the right directory ( for example: Desktop )





Third step: Uploading Your Needlist at http://www.photobucket.com & Posting In Your Topic


1. Visit your photobucket album which you created in "First step".

2. Now click the "Choose files" button which you see on "Graphic 1".

3. Choose the directory where you have saved the picture ( NEEDLIST123 ) and click on "open".

Now it takes some seconds while photobucket is uploading your picture.
If it's finished, you will see your picture: Rightclick Copy graphic adress.

4. Go into your topic where you want to post your needlist.

5. Post your needlist: [img]Graphic adress[/img] ( Replace the " Graphic adress " with your Graphic adress by: Rightclick Paste ).





Fourth step: Updating Your Picture


In this step, you will delete your current Needlist ( NEEDLIST123 ) and replace it with the updated Needlist without making a new post.

1. Delete the .jpg file "NEEDLIST123" from your computer.

2. Open a graphic program ( I'd recommend paint ).

3. Choose the text tool.

4. Click on the white area and draw a rectangle where your text ( Need/Offer list ) should be written.

5. Write your updated Need/Offer list.

6. Save it: File Save under: !! important !! fill in the same name which you used for your first Needlist !! important !! and choose the right directory ( for example: Desktop )





Fifth step: Uploading Your Updated Picture At www.photobucket.com

It's the same as "Third step" so I'm gonna quote that.

1. Visit your photobucket album which you created in "First step".

2. Now click the "Choose files" button which you see on "Graphic 1".

3. Choose the directory where you have saved the picture ( NEEDLIST123 ) and click on "open".

Now it takes some seconds while photobucket is uploading your picture.
If it's finished, you will see your picture: Rightclick Copy graphic adress.

4. Go into your topic where you want to post your needlist.

5. Post your needlist: [img]Graphic adress[/img] ( Replace the " Graphic adress " with your Graphic adress by: Rightclick Paste ).
