yep...it does that on photobucket--here is how you do it!

go to layout
go to add an element on you sidebar
click add HTML code
paste in your photobucket code
click save

now go back to layout and click edit on the HTML code you just added
copy it
now go to new post
make sure that you have the html tab on
(there are 2 tabs-- one is html the other is compose)
now paste it in
click save
WALA..slideshow
now you can go back to Layout, click on edit Html and delete the slideshow on your sidebar

call me if it doesn't work...can't wait to see the slideshow!

Alyssa, thank allyson for me. I was having the same problem and followed her instructions and it worked like a charm. I use picasa so it happens with more than just photobucket. Anyway thanks for the help.
