What I do is put a copy of all the tags I want to upload into a new file folder on my desktop. I just drag them in there.

Then when I go to Photobucket and click on "Choose files"... I got looking for that file on my desktop and open it.

Then I right click on the first tag (that highlights it).

Then I click on my Shift key and keep holding it down while I left click on the last tag. That highlights all the tags in the file. Then I click on "Open".

Then Photobucket starts uploading all the tags. Then you have the choice of adding another Photobucket Title or not... then you go to the bottom of the Photobucket page and click on the "Save" OR you can click on "Skip this step now" (it will still copy any title you added there.

****************

When I want to add tags to MSN and there is more than one I'll open "Notepad" (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad).

Then I click in Photobucket on the "Direct Link" for the first tag I want and paste that link into Notepad. I then go back and click on "Direct Link" again for the next tag I want to copy and paste that into Notepad too, and so on, until I have all the links to the tags I want.

That way I can just highlight the link in notepad and enter it into my MSN msg... one by one when and where I need them.

When I'm finished I just delete the notepad page without saving it.

*****************

If I want to add several tags at a time in MSN I hit the return key in my message to create a couple of lines.

Then I click on the HTML code box on the bottom of my message:

All the lines will read as follows: <DIV> </DIV>

i.e.

(the   = one space)

Say I want to add 10 tag deliveries... one per line... I type in the following <DIV><image src=></DIV> on one line followed by <DIV></DIV> on the next line, then I copy and paste it 10 times. This is what it ends up looking like:

<DIV></DIV> (<---this adds a blank line between the tags... it's like a carriage return or enter)

You'll end up with a blank space between each section as per above sample, but don't worry about it, it's ok.

Then I can paste the Photobucket direct link just after the "=" sign, then click the little HTML box on the bottom left hand corner of my message again to get out of HTML editing mode and all my tags will appear in my message. I check them to make sure they're all there, first, then I hit the "Send Message" button.

If I want to add two tags per line I type the following once and copy and paste it 5 times:

It will then look like this:

That way I can paste a Photobucket link after the first "=" sign, and another after the 2nd "=" sign and have two spaces in between the 2 tags. (  = 1 space)

I then add two more tags at a time until all 10 are in there (2 per line, 10 tags in total). Then I click on the HTML little box in the bottom left hand corner to get out of HTML editing and check that all my tags are there. If they are... then I hit the "Send Message" button. Otherwise I fix the HTML code first and recheck it before hitting the "Send Message".

Note: Make sure when you copy your Photobucket Direct Link from Notepad to your HTML code page ... only include the link starting from http//: all the way to the end of the code and that only. In other words don't over highlight the direct link so that it might include a space before the http// or add a space at the end of the link. You'll end up with a highlighted link version of your Photobucket Link and you don't really want that. If you get that though, just erase it and do it again. :)

I hope this explanation is clear enough to you all. If not you can ask more questions.
