tr,
I have reviewed this photobucket-pic-posting some.
Instead of just relying on my memory (like I did in PM), I stepped thru the proceeedure and thought some about how to explain it .
In photobucket albumn.
See the IMG code there next to you photo. (NOte: IMG code, not just the URL.
Click on that, it all turns blue. right click, choose Copy
goto to your posting
click on the posting space.
Right click, choose Paste.
It will paste the IMG code into the post.
It will look something like this:
[ I M G ] http : //i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/RedMan52/2015_Ride/IMG_2225_W800_zpsdrwfwuk0 . jpg [ / I M G ]
(note: I added spaces so you could see it here as the IMG code, instead of it displaying as the picture.)
and then when Save the post, it will then display as the picture.
Here is the same thing again, but I did not add the spaces, so it displays as the picture.
.
You seem to be copying and pasting just the URL.
You could add the bracket IMG bracket in front of the URL and the bracket backslash IMG bracket on the end and have it work.
(like I showed above, but without the spaces)
Or... since you are able to copy the URL, you could use the method that uses the picture icon (that square icon with a tree, says "insert image").
There would be 3 or 4 details to have to work thru to get that to work. Biggest detail is to unclick the thing that says something like "host locally"..... ..... I haven't done that enough to remember the details.
There is about 3 or 4 or 5 ways to post the pics.
So 3 or 4 different people might all describe something different to you.
And another 3 people might be trying to describe the same thing, but explain it so different that you don't recognize it is the same thing.

..later note.
My description is for Windows on a PC.
I now recall you mentioned something about I-Pad. SO maybe I am not helping you at all.
