If you want to upload pictures to your F150Online.com album, you have to upload them from your hard drive.

Not exactly ( at least with FireFox )

If you put the URL in the File Upload pop up window, the pop up will download the picture to your PC, and set it up for upload to F150online.com, so no need to manually download the pictures to your PC.

The URL has to be valid , where the picture can be viewed from a browser directly ( not a screen with frames or a lytebox pop up )

The URL I tested with :
http://www.pbase.com/sscully/image/89326332.jpg

The resulting upload

Don't know if photobucket has a direct jpg URL of the image or not.

It sounds as if the pictures are too large. They have to be 800x600. Try resizing one and then uploading.

There is free resizing software on the internet. Just google picture resizing. Actually, I think Photobucket may have that feature too. Resize one and then copy it back to your harddrive, then upload to an album.

What is the file extension ? The upload will take jpg, bmp, and I think png files.

The file size should convert on the fly ( but you will get better results to do it yourself ).

If the file is way too large ( multi MB file size and/or the resolution is in the 8k x 4K range, you would get an upload failed notification ( think that is the correct message ).
