How do I use this image feature? I have a photo on shutterfly, lets say. Should I be able to post it by clicking the IMG button above?

Trying it but when I hit preview I don't see a picture!

Hi Mary beth -

Click on the "Img" button above. You'll get two tags: [img]and[/img] Put the URL of your picture BETWEEN the two tags and it should show up for you.
:D

CariBert is having a similar problem. He figured out that the website he's linking to doesn't allow sharing. I'm not sure if he was using Shutterfly or not. I wonder if this is why you're having a problem. Is there somewhere else you can post your pictures so you can link to that? Is this image something you want to use for your avatar?

I guess that site does not allow sharing somehow -
I edited your post using HTML and it does work... strange!

I is very possible that your image hosting site doesn't allow linking.

Also you might try adding .jpg at the end of your image's address but before the [img/]

As a test, I'm posting this one of the damage the "Floods Along The Mohawk" did to our wonderful Erie Canal in late June. This is Lock 12 just west of Schenectady. It is still shut down while they rebuild.

It worked but I did have to add the ".jpg" to the end of the image address.

I was really just trying to test so in the event, while I'm in STJ, I wanted to post a picture I knew how! LOL

I link from Shutterfly to other forums so I know it does allow it. Oh well, will keep trying or will use some other service.

Jorge may have to wait for Bongo Bongo pictures until I get home :D

Mary beth - You must've done something right because I can see your picture... also the code linking it. Whatever...it's working and that's what matters, right? :)
