Ok, so I'm racking my brain trying to figure something out. Can anyone help me out?? I'm trying to figure out how to post a picture in a thread, and I've read the forum help markup, but it's completely greek to me. So, if anyone could help me out and let me know how to post a picture, that would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to put it here, or message me, or scream really loud so I can hear you here in the midwest of the U.S., that'd be great. Thank you in advance and I hope I cause no undue distraction or waste anyone's time.

P.S. It's a picture of one of my tattoos, if you care.

You need to use img and /img tags. Exactly like any other tags, like italics or bold, except the URL of the image goes between them.

I will show you how using a kitten.

You use [ img ] http://www.hoax-slayer.com/images/no-bonsai-kitten.jpg [ /img ] but without the spaces. And yes, it has to be on the net beforehand.

Viola! Une kitten.



Quote me and look at the text if you don't get it, that's how I learned.

Edit: While we're at it, how do you incorporate links into text? Like where they say "For more info click here".

I'll just demonstrate without the spaces, like you did.

[ url="web address" ]what you want the link to say[ /url ].
