    Uh,......

    Try using the photo URL in your browser to make sure it shows up OK there. Then copy the URL from the browser address line and paste it into the window that pops up when you hit the IMG button at the top of the message box. If you manually enter the code it should look like:



    Before posting, use the Preview Reply button under the message block to see if the image shows up in the message.

      Jerry,
      Thanks for the info. I am a computer dinasour. Not sure what you mean by post the URL into the browser, then copy and paste into the IMG button. Can you step by step describe the procedure. Sorry to be a problem user.

        Dave, what he means is to view the pic in your browser, be it explore or netscape, then highlight and copy the url. Hmm... a dinasour eh? We must stick together, not too many of us left.

        Click at the beginning of the address window, then click and hold the right mouse button down and drag the cursor to the end. You will see it change colour, this indicates that it is highlighted. Right click and select copy. Click in the img window here and then right click again and select paste.

            depends

            this also depends who you use for hosting pics. i go with photobucket .com there under my pic actualy has three choices. 1 says url 2 says img 3 says tag . I first left click on img, which highlights it ,then right click on it while it is blue and click copy, now i will go to this site , go to post ,above the meeage box you will see small box that says img, left click on that, a box appears somewhere on the screen, the place on that box asks for http type address, put cursor in that box right click , then hit paste. in that little box click on ok. you should have a pic on your post on this site. At least thats what i do.[IMG][/IMG]
