[IMG]URL of the image here[/IMG]

So if you want to put in, say, the Google logo, you'd type:

[IMG]http://www.google.com/intl/en/images/logo.gif[/IMG]

Which would give you:



An easier way is to just click the yellow image button () and paste in the URL in the box that comes up.

Re: How do you post attachments or images?

Are the little buttons up above the text box supposed to work when you click on them. I cant select text size, color, attach image, or anything on that panel. I dont have a site that i can host the images, but I would like to attach them directly to my post. Maybe its my browser? Firefox? I cant even select a similie from the similies area. Eric

Do you have JavaScript disabled? Those buttons require JavaScript to work.

Shouldn't be, I use Firefox 99% of the time. Got a firewall or blocker of sorts?
