First, you put your threads on, then you post the image.

You may also post images in duds, togs, or glad rags.

Use the following syntax:

< i m g   s r c = " (http address here) " >

Remove all extra spaces from the previous line, of course.

But seriously, you have to have your image posted somewhere on the web (your ISP may give you webspace).

Then you post this:

<IMG SRC="http://www.yourhostname.com/yourdirectory/yourimagename.jpg">

On the left side of the page is a border.
Hover your cursor over that border and you will see a "drag" arrow.
Drag the border to the right and a menu will be revealed.
Click on "add image".
Select the image you want and then click "upload".
Keep the original title of the image, or create a new one.

Click "done" and there you go!

Uh, if you remove the space between "img" and "src" it won't work.

<img src="your image link goes right here between the quote marks">

Google's image will look like this:

<img src="http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif">

and when copied and pasted exactly as shown:

That's why I said remove all "extra spaces" instead of all spaces. Of course, there must be a space between 'img' and 'src' (I tried to show that by forcing an extra space between them, but it probably wasn't easy to see).

Well, you have your help already, but I like showing off:

Entering this in the "Your Reply:" box:

Use "xmp" (example) tags from now on. I can't show you an example, but you'll see they work in preview.

They ought to put that in the Sandbox. I happened on it by accident somewhere.
