Picture

Ok I got the aviator thing ok but how do you put a picture in the actual post. I tried to click the image button and then enter the web address but it just displayed the address. Like this:
[image]http://www.comedy-zone.net/pictures/sports/sports01.htm[/image]

That's not pointing to an image, that's pointing to a html page.

If you're not directly pointing to a picture and it doesn't end in a .png .gif or .jpg, it's not going to display.

Is there some other way to show a picture that is on a web page, like save it and then paste it to the post?

[Doug Taylor]

Right click the photo, look at the properties and post the actual URL.

Doug,
What about a picture I want to post off my computer, not off the web somewhere.

For example, the thread in humor about tail numbers, I have a few pictures of the plane I was talking about, but cannot figure out how to get the pictures on a post.

Thanks

I chose not to allow uploading of files and images to the server for a variety of security and bandwidth concerns. Most internet access accounts I've seen have a certain amount of free web space included with the accounts. You could always upload it there and then use a 'image' tag to link to the photo.

This may change in the future, but it's not on the radar.

Never thought of it that way, No worries, Kell had some pictures of that plane, and posted them for me.
