Adding to what Anne posted. The link that Photobucket provides will give access to the entire album. If you modify it a bit that won't happen. For example (spaces added so this shows as the link syntax) taking the link as given by Photobucket:

[ U R L=http://s284.photobucket.com/user/PNn2222/media/Kilt/Kilts%202013/KiltKamp2013_0244_zps4783dcee-1.jpg.html][I M G ]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/PNn2222/Kilt/Kilts%202013/KiltKamp2013_0244_zps4783dcee-1.jpg[ / I M G][/ U R L]

will give the desired photo but you can get to the entire album. If you delete part of that line you get this:

[I M G]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/PNn2222/Kilt/Kilts%202013/KiltKamp2013_0244_zps4783dcee-1.jpg[/I M G]

Now you have just the one photograph. Clicking on the image won't take you anywhere.

Alternatively, just use the built in facilityby clicking on the image button: which you will see in the posting menu: . There is a limit to what file size will upload. I don't know the limit but the picture below was 1.87Mb and loaded using the "Insert Image" button. If you need to re-size you can do so by referring to this post.

There is a second tutorial that says much the same thing but in different words. It may be found in our "How Do I" forum section.

If you have a photobucket account, you may use that account to link a photo into a post. There are setting on the albums in Photobucket. If you have set your albums to be public then yes, someone will be able to see the entire album that your one photo is in.

To prevent this, simply change the setting of that photobucket album to 'private'.
People will still be able to see the one photo you linked into your post but not the rest of that album.
