Instead of linking to Photobucket.. try uploading the picture directly to bartertown.. at the bottom of your page, just below the "save, preview and submit" buttons there is a "Upload Attachment" tab... I think you can only upload stuff from your PC, but Bartertown automatically resizes photos to a standard picture size..

see below...

ps.. any clue as to what these GW minis are?

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

That's probably the -overall- best way to go about it.

That way, if a *certain* Watchman is at work and wants to see the image, said individual would not have to wait until he got home, as his employer blocks photobucket and the other image hosting sites. He could see the image right in the post.

If, however, you prefer to use P-Bucket (and, I admit, i still do - It's faster), you want to copy the phpbb image tag that is in brackets on your P-Bucket page.
It would start with [ img ] and end with [ /img ] (without the extra spaces).

Hope that helps.
