Hi all....
I have had a few MiG Mates ask me how to post smileys. I ended up writing step by step (as best possible) instructions. Just thought I'd share. PM me if you need any help or if any one sees an error or wants to add to the tutorial.
Have fun and good luck!!
First, you will need to go www.photobucket.com and register. In your photobucket, make individual folders for MiG and smiles. I have over 200 mixed up and I spend more time searchin' for the right one than postin'. ;D
*Part One*
1. Create a folder in you hard drive of your computer. My smiley folder is in my picture folder. That way I can jump back and forth between MiG and Smiles.
2. Leave your smiley folder on your hard drive open and minimize down to the task bar.
3. Open up your smiley web page. You will need to have both pages open. There should be 2 pages shown at the bottom of your task bar.
4. Find the smiley that you want to use.
5. Hold your mouse over the smiley and right click. A list will appear and you want to click on "Copy.”
6. Now bring up your smiley folder in your hard drive
(click on smiley folder on task bar below)
7. Move your mouse onto the smiley page and left click on the page to make sure you’re in the folder. Your cursor should be flashing in the folder.
8. Right click and a list will appear. Click on paste and viola.... you have a smiley in your folder.
9. Save all you smiles to that folder.
*Part Two*
Loading Smileys to Photobucket
1. Bring up Photobucket. At the top of your page, you should see a browse button. Click on it.
4. A window should pop up and you need to go to the folder where all your smileys are and open up that folder.
5. Click on a smiley that you want to load and now click on the button that says, "Open" in that window. You should see your folder address in the "browse box.”
6. Now click on submit.
7. At the top of the photobucket page, you should see "photo loaded successfully.” Scroll down a bit and you should see your smiley.
*Part Three*
Opening up 2 pages on your computer....
You have photobucket up and now you need to open up another window to bring up the Global Fan Site.
1. With photobucket up, move your mouse up to the top of the page where it say *file* and click on it.
2. At the top of the list, there should be the word "new.” Move you mouse over the word and to the right of the list, another list should pop up and the word window. Click on that word. Now you should have 2 photo bucket pages loaded on your computer.
3. Make one of those pages the Global Fan Site and now you should have fan site page and photbucket up.
Posting Smileys
1. On the Fan site page, go find a thread you want to post in, Try Lola's...
2. Now, go down to the bottom of your screen, and click on the photobucket page.
3. Find the smiley (or pic) you want to post. Under the smiley, are 3 addresses. *URL* *TAG* *IMG*
4. You always want to use *IMG* (except for your avatar)
Click on the *IMG* address and it will highlight.
5. Right click and a list will pop up. Click on *copy*
6. Now go back to the fan site and click where you would like your smiley to be.

Now remember, all pics, smiles and other function on this posting are set in brackets [ ] if a bracket is out of place, your pic won't show up properly. Preview your post before posting.
