If you look at your pictures in photobucket, there should be 4 text boxes under them, one of them will say IMG code. If you copy the line in the text box by IMG CODE and put it in yoru post, it should show up as a pic when you post it. The line will start with [IMG].

Thank you, mikayla73! I think I must have been copying the wrong code, but I recall seeing the IMG Code there (it is kind of a light gray color, right?). I will try it and hopefully I won't end up posting my whole album again, and only the pictures I want! I will try one test photo, and if I get the knack of it, then I will post the pictures I really want to post! (I went to Disneyland with a celebrity about 20 years ago - he was not a celebrity at the time - and I would like to post a couple of those photos from that trip after I scan them and upload them to Photobucket.) Thanks again for your help! I knew I was doing something wrong!

I should post the pictures of this person from 20 years ago (after I scan and upload them) and see if there are any folks out there who would recognize him because he looks a little different today, BUT if I am not mistaken, I think I have revealed who it was on this board a few months ago, so it may not be a surprise. Also, I don't know how many folks on here would know this person. Actually, I will just give you two big hints, and this is very easy if you already know who the person is. If you don't know who it is, then the hints will mean nothing to you.

He is in a famous 'hair band' from the '80s. He was on two seasons of a hit show on VH1 that just ended a couple of months ago.

Yep! He wore a jumpsuit with overalls and a mesh tank top to Disneyland when we went in the '80s and he took the suspenders down. A CM came up to Bret and asked him to cover himself back up because the mesh tank top was inappropriate! Another person who was on that same Disney trip with us is a guy named Robbie Crane (not his real name) who is now in the band Ratt, but at the time he was a Poison roadie! Bret and Robbie liked to get on Mr. Toad and the other kid rides and jump out of the cars inside the ride, then jump back into the cars before the ride finished. And we bought two skull and crossbones flags at Pieces of Eight which later were used in a couple of Poison videos. I have to hurry and pull some of these pictures from my real photo albums (not the Photobucket albums), scan them and then upload so you can see Bret on Autopia! I wish we had gotten some pictures of them with characters but it didn't happen!

They were fun, and it is weird to me now to see Bret on TV, knowing how they used to live - eating spaghetti sauce out of a can for dinner! It is like he is a different person now, not the same one who jumped out on Mr. Toad.

Hey, check out the City Hall thread, where I was raving about your pictures, if you haven't already seen it!

I know I said thanks there too, but thanks again Sherry E !! Spaghetti sauce out of a can for dinner ? I love to hear stuff like that. I think thats when celebrities are there best. When they struggle and can relate to people trying to make it big.

I am going to try attaching a test photo here and see if I can finally finesse this! IF this works, the picture I am posting is from the Halloween season 2007, and I liked it because there are many things happening in the one picture. There are a lot of contrasts - the vantage point of the Partners statue with the Walt and Mickey side silhouettes is cool, and the fact that the pumpkins are resting beneath it and Tomorrowland is in the background. Not to mention the fact that it had been pouring rain earlier, and the skies finally turned blue, and the way Walt is pointing, it sort of looks like he waved his arm and ordered the skies to clear and the rain to disappear. Here goes:

You're welcome! But I love your pictures! I have to find those other folks on here whose pictures are great and tell them so. I was a picture taking FOOL for years - to the point where my friends were sick of me and my camera! (However, in later years, everyone was asking me for copies of the old photos!) My pictures used to be pretty good. I kind of lost the fever for a while and stopped snapping photos, or my camera died or whatever. I got the bug again last year at Disneyland, and was snap-happy! I love having a cell phone camera with me at all times too because you never know when a photo opportunity will present itself, and you can load everything to Photobucket or wherever now and edit the pictures and send them all over the world via the Internet. I still alternate between an old 35 mm camera and a digital, as well as the cell phone, but the old Poison pictures from 20 years ago that I took were on one of the ANCIENT Kodak Disc cameras! And yes, Bret ate spaghetti sauce out of a can. There were plenty of women buying and bringing them food, but on those 'off nights,' if he was having a blood sugar attack, he would eat the sauce when there was no other food! Now he is on VH1, talking about limos and diamonds and money and fur coats and all that. So weird to me!

I have to see if I can dig up some old photo albums from the '90s when the Disneyland Hotel used to have Candy Cane Lane during the holidays (before they revamped it and got rid of a lot of stuff). That was so cool and I was annoyed when they got rid of it! In the meantime, here are more from the soggy Halloween trip 2007:

All of your pix are great too Sherry E !!! It makes me excited that I'm going to be seeing Halloween decorations in DLR for the first time this year !!! I especially love the one of Walt & Mickey ! Really great image. It really does capture a lot and the face that the sky cleared up so beautifully is amazing as well.

Thanks! I actually used to take much better pictures but once I kind of got out of the swing of doing it, I lost some of my skill. I have to get back into the swing so I can annoy all my friends again!
