Have you ever set up a Photobucket Account? Have you created one which is still bare and needs information adding? In this article I will be showing you step by step instructions on how you can not only create a complete profile, but also some tips on how you can improve your uploads and get the most out of them.
The first step you need to take is to go to the Photobucket website – www.photobucket.com, where you will then be greeted with a Sign up box on the left hand side. Photobucket allows you to sign up either with your own email address or with your Facebook logins. If you select to sign up with your Facebook it will link the two profiles together.
If you do click 'Sign up with Facebook' a pop up box will show and all you then need to do is enter your Facebook login details.
If you enter your normal email address and password and click 'Sign up' you will then go to a new page where you are able to; confirm your email address, pick your username, pick a password, select your date of birth, select your gender, provide your Zip Code (Postcode) and then prove you are not a robot by ticking the 'I'm not a robot' box. Below is a screenshot of the page. You will see that there are certain requirements that you need to meet. These are for your; email address, username and password. You need to make sure you are providing a valid email address. Your username must contain 3-50 characters and can consist of letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens. Your password must be at least 6 characters and again this can consist of letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens.
