Oftentimes I would like to add a picture to my post to illustrate a pont. But all I can seem to do is create a link the the picture I am trying to post. I can't get the picture to be displayed in the body of my post. Is there a trick to doing this? I have tried typing in the tags by hand or using the clickable menu, but both seem to yield the same results.

Any pointers?

To my knowledge, its not possible. Haven't seen it successfully done on here...don't think the board allows us to do that.

I'm sure someone will pop in if that is not the case.

The general answer is that you use the IMG html tag.

As in, [IMG]http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e339/tortoiseshell2002/DSC00254.jpg[/IMG] which links to a picture one of our cats.

But, on this board, the IMG tag does not work (I believe it has been intentionally disabled). You can use the URL tag:

Click here to see the cat.

The coding for that is:
(url=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e339/tortoiseshell2002/DSC00254.jpg)Click here to see the cat.(/url)

To illustrate the coding, the above line substitutes parentheses for the brackets.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought I was going crazy. I will have to be content with posts that have lots of links instead of pictures.
