photos'

Somehow I'm screwing up on posting photos' from my files. I want the photo to show in the post, not as an attachment icon. Where am I going wrong. Did it in the past, but like everything else, if I dont do it regularly, I forget how.

Upload the file, close that window, right click on the link to the photo, choose copy link. Click

, paste the url into the box.

You can also edit the post afterword. That "attachment icon" as you call it, you can right-click on that, choose copy link then use the

button, paste it in the box and you're done.

In order to have a link show up as a picture in the post, it (the link) must be enclosed with the VB image tags. So it is a bit more involved than simply pasting a link.

If your attachment is like this:

http://thefiringline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=20981&d=1162269560

Then you will need to supply the tags like this:

Which then becomes:

The alternative to all of that hand coding is to paste the link, highlight it and then use your mouse to click on the picture icon (

). This will insert the proper tags on the highlighted link.
