How do I include a picture within text?

Kinda new to forums how do I post a picture within this text body. I know about photobucket and have done it many times with ebay. But when I click on insert image button. I get a box asking to insert a url when I get a url from photobucket all I get in the text body is this

Your insert text needs to look like this:

[img]htp://www.photobucket.your_photo.com[/img]

It should post in this format.

If you use the insert photo icon, don't enter the [img] tags...just enter the address in the box. It will add the [img] tags for you...hope this helps!

I dont enter the [img] tags it does that for me. All it asks for is the url it does all the inserting for me. Still confused

This is what you had inside your IMG tags: http://http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb150/megabyte29/cannon002.jpg Note the double http://

Here it is posted within the IMG tags without the extra http.

Yep, you'll notice that when you open up the image box, the text line already has "http://" supplied. Delete that before pasting in your URL. (A good programmer wouldn't have done that. If the http:// was missing, they would have supplied it after the fact. Such is life in the vbulletin world.)
