Thanks for the "tutorial" Martin - I'll have to play a bit this evening
And BW-Angel - the "img tag" is the trick here. The way the forum handles external images is by placing the web address in between two "tags" like this:
[img]PICTUREURL[/img]
You can't make ANY typographical errors in that bit!! I see in some of your efforts that the img tag is sometimes missing a bit of code, like an opening bracket or something. The first tag tells the system there is a url for an image coming, and the second tag - with the "/" in it - tells the system that the url has ended and to retrieve & display whatever image lives there. Needless to say, any typos - even an extra "space" - will result in the image not displaying. The tags and the URL have no spaces in between them.
As for the "thumbnail" size images, you have to input the code for the actual image, not it's thumbnail. Photobucket will create thumbnails to make viewing albums easier, but those thumbnails link to actual images. If you are having issues copying the code they provide, just navigate to the actual image (large sized version) and then "right click" on it - choose "view image" (may be phrased differently depending upon your browser) and then just copy the url from the address bar of your browser and put that in between the img tags in your post here!
Sounds complicated when you break it down to the tiny details like that, but it's really quite simple once you get the hang of it
If that's unclear, ask for clarification about whatever part is troublesome!
Now to see about those Transformations I was unable to apply last time I tried
