Trouble inserting a picture in a post

[Zzz]

I use Firefox. This is what I get when I follow BC Tundra's instructions on imageshack:



I think my problem is from posting all the Obama jokes, they've got me censored

You checked the "disable BBcode" checkbox in your post. BBcode must be enabled to work.

Thanks Zane. Great surprise to see you and Erin (and everyone else for that matter)..T did a great job. Man I'm a luck guy Back to work today, but have tomorrow off. Hopefully the weather will be nice. Looking for the next toy. An AR-15 maybe? I've heard they make a great dinner bell at Fly In's

DP has it right too, Picasa isn't the most uC:\Users\James\Pictures\Picasa\Exports\Flying with James\_DSC3720.JPGser friendly when trying to embed pics. With Firefox browser, right click on the picture, open in new window, copy url link, paste url link in between [img]....[/img], preview, submit.

From viewtopic.php?f=25&t=28 :

First, your image must live somewhere that is internet accessible, like in our photo gallery. You must be able to get to it with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL, also commonly called a "web address"), which is always preceded by "http://" and looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://www.backcountrypilot.org/somefile

A local path on your personal computer will not work, i.e. C:\My Documents\photos\. A local path is different from a URL in that it only works to locate a file on your personal computer. People on the internet cannot use it to access a file.

Additionally, you can click the Preview button to test your BBcode until the cows come home without actually posting.
