Getting a User Photo Album is easy but it requires submitting a request from within the site structure.
1. Sign on to the site.
2. Select the User Control Panel link from the upper left corner of any page. Note: On the home page, this link is in your user menu in the upper right.
3. Click the Usergroups tab, then select the radio button next to the User Albums group.
Scroll down, choose "Join selected" in the drop-down menu, and click the Submit button.
Once you do this, an email is automatically sent to the administrator (me). That message will trigger my ability to approve your request, and you'll receive an email indicating your membership in the UserAlbums group has been activated.
I'll watch for the message, and look forward to seeing your pictures.
Cheers,
Bruce

Bruce,
You are soooo patient. Bless you. I know you’ve answered that same question at least 100 times. Isn’t there any way to put a sticky button on the home page that talks about the FSBO section, how to use search and the pic posting answer?

On most forums I am on you can add a photo directly, right below the post reply area is an Options/Attachment choice. This forum does not have the attachment choice so I also do not know how to post a picture directly to the thread. They can go to my albums but then need to find the photo so I am also curious if there is a way to attach directly to the thread from my album.

There are two ways to embed images in your posts.
If the picture you want to include is in one of your gallery folders (on Tugnuts), click on the g2Img button. That will open another window which will allow you to browse your galleries and select a picture. Be patient, it can take a while for the new window to populate. It should default to your album when it opens.
Click the box in the upper left of the picture you want to post. Scroll (way) down to the bottom of the window and click Submit. That will attach the picture to your post.
If the picture isn't in your gallery, perhaps something you've seen elsewhere on the web, or in another personal web collection (i.e. flickr, iCloud, google, etc.) then you click the Img button. The image/collection must be open to the public.
This will create the following string in your posting window - then you copy and paste the URL (http://whatever...jpg) of the desired image in the middle, between the ][ brackets. The trick here is to determine the direct URL of the image. Various image hosting sites show it in different ways. Sometimes it's right up in the address bar. Other times it's listed under "Share This Image", etc.
You can determine if you have the correct URL by hitting the Preview button. If it displays, you're good to go. If it's not correct, the form will give you some kind of clue so you can go back and dig around. You'll only have to figure it out once for each host.
Cheers,
Bruce
