^ Good tip by dmb regarding avatars. Follow the advice in that thread and you'll be fine.

I can see by right-clicking properties on your x that you're trying to upload a photo

from your computer; that won't work.

Avatars must be hotlinked.


Now - once you get an avatar up and running, you might want

to post a pic inside the body of your post (as I've done below).


Here's how to do that:


On the tool bar at the top of the posting page,

you'll see a button labeled Img.


If you click on that once, you'll see this: [img]

If you click on it again, you'll see this: [/img]


Basically, you just 'sandwich' the photo URL between

the [img] and the [/img] and hit Submit.


Please note that the [img] MUST be at the beginning of the URL,

and the [/img] must be at the end of the URL.

If you mix up that [img]URL[/img] order, it won't work.


When you're finished, it will look something like this:

[img] w w w. i2.photobucket.com/albums/kentsphotos/bangkok.jpg [/img]

(with no spaces in the above URL ^)

Don't be afraid to play around with it.


It took me a week of and some help from a member to figure it out!

Hey! The linking method works! I've learned something new today. Thanks.
