[Ichneumon]

The only thing I can think of is that these addresses won't allow referencing. I'll try again.

They do, you're just not entering the HTML correctly. Type it into your message like this:

<img src="http://www.outlawwomen.com/PokerAlice.jpg">

It'll come out like this:

[Ichneumon]

...and the problem with your other picture is that you were using the URL for the *article* about the image, not the URL of the image itself. For the image, use:

<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Calamity_Jane_on_a_horse.gif">

To find the URL for an *image* you see on a web page, right-click on the image and select "Properties" from the popup menu. It'll show you the Address/URL, you can copy/paste it by selecting it with your mouse (i.e. highlighting it), then hitting "Ctrl-C" or right-click and select "Copy" from the popup menu.

I swear that's what I did, but I guess not.
