¿¿¿ I'm not familiar with the "photobucket pics flash towards you" feature/function Val.....unless it's the "slideshow" option that Photobucket has, which I have never used.

I use PhotoBucket for all my group Pix posting (MSN Groups storage has to be used for group albums), to save storage space for albums & to consolidate my pix in one place rather than spread over several different Group accounts. A great site/service.

For MSN Groups, you post a pic by copying the "HTML Code" Link (3rd one down) listed below the pic after you've up-loaded it to PhotoBucket & pasting that link in your post, where you want the pic to show up, will give you a "still" like these below :

I have noticed that, if using Internet Explorer to post, you must check the "Use Plain Text editor" box (upper Rt. corner) BEFORE you paste the HTML Tag in your message for photobucket's link to be "Hot" and automatically fetch the pic from their site & display it in your message. If you also want to use/add "clickable" links, Smilies or other features of "Rich Text" in the post, you'll have to turn the "Plain Text" editor back off AFTER you paste the pix Tag to use them, then back on again if you want to add another pic, and so on.

I mainly use FireFox for my browser, it is always in "Plain Text" mode already (unless you're using the "IE Tab" extension)...due compatibility issues with MicroSoft... so, pasting the Tag works with out any changes in FireFox (but to add "hot or clickable links" you'll have to use IE or the "IE Tab" extension in FireFox.
