Firstly your picture needs an URL address........?? What's that then? The picture must be hosted on the web somewhere, for commercially available photos its is wherever they put them. For your own photos you need to publish them into webspace. You can do this using various methods i.e. flickr, imageshack or MSN webspace or some other personal photo album in cyberspace.. for instance our own gallery!

One you have found or published your picture you need the URL address. Go to the picture, right click over it with your mouse and go down to properties. Highlight and copy the entire URL address.

In your post,first click the img grey box underneath the subject line, then paste the URL address, and click the img tab again.

You should now have something that looks like this

any probs don't hesitate to ask :wink:

excellent!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like there isn't a jpg image file liked to the URL you just posted so hence why no piccie appears

Should like more like:

Code: Select all

[img]]http://render3.snapfish.com/render2/myfirestorm.jpg[/img]
note; .jpg that shows that it is image file that you are pointing at

The URL you posted just points to an error page

Works for me

Copy the IMG code and paste it into your post

Code: Select all

You might want to resize your pics a little smaller before uploading them to flickr using these handy apps depending on your OS
