Thanks for bringing that up Switek - that was what I was talking about in my inital post . Sorry I didnt specify - I forgot about online albums :doh:

Go to Tinypic.com and click on browse. Browse your pictures, and then click on the one want you want to upload. Then upload the picture by clicking on "host image." Then go to the address that has "IMG" next to it and copy and paste. Then place that into your post.

Im still doing something wrong...

And for people like me who like things a bit more private and feel a little more secure than with TinyPic, there's Photo Bucket.

Yell if you still need help, Stan.

Stan,

You have the (view/?pic=) in the url. That is why the picture is not appearing.

Remove that part from your url and your picture will appear.

On tinypic they usually give you 4 urls, one of those is for images. Use that one.

When you are replying or posting you can use the image icon above. It's the icon with a pic of a mountain. If you are using tinypic then use I believe the 1st url they show, copy it and then click on the image icon, paste it there, click ok. Your image will appear.

The Image Icon feature will automatically add the [IMG] [/IMG] so you don't have to type them.

Here you go.

As Roses said there is a "Insert Image" box in the toolbar just click on that and add the link to the pic you wanna show. It will look something like this (without the spaces)

[ I M G ] h t t p : / / t i n y p i c . c o m / n c g i g m [ / I M G ]

If you use tinypic... just use the 2nd coding they give you on the bottom... where it says "img ------------" and then has the coding in the box... copy and paste that exactly into your post... no need to add anything else.

:whoo:

You got it!

Thanks Katie, I wasn't sure which one of the 4 was the img url on tinypic.
