yea that was it.
It works just fine.... here's the steps:
1. click on the link you left "rosie cutieface picture...." Then you will be at your photobucket page.
2. Where it says "share this image" on the left hand side of the page double click on "Direct Link"... it will flash the word 'copied' at you to let you know it's on your comps clip board.
3. Navigate back to the LGKs window and and click on the "Insert Image" button ( it looks like a landscape with an orange sun, green mountains and a blue sky).
... right click and paste into the open dialog box and hit o.k.
4. Go to "preview post" and you should see the image of your dog if all instructions were followed correctly.
5. Lastly, hit "Submit Reply"
It gets easier after a couple tries.... hope that helps.
Thanks everyone for helping me. I think I have it. I've had a secret wish to post a pic in adgy's photo thread. :-)
Now I can do it!
Also if you have the link all you need to do is click the sunset button above the reply box.
Also if you see a pic you want to post you can get the url by clicking control key on the MAC, not sure the key on PC. Anyone?
