The difficult way is to type this out every time:
<img src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/50/l_89f37c6165667d6d1d84742def065d82.jpg">

Then you get this:


To learn what other HTML you can add, click the "More HTML" link at the bottom right of the reply box.

The easiest way is to click the "Image" link in the bottom middle of the reply box. That will make something appear under the text box that will say "Image URL:". You need to post the URL of that image into that box.

Now here is the part some people get confused by. You can't actually post the page the image is on. You need to actually post the URL of the image.

The page containing your image Bobbi is here:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=51637791&albumID=752368&imageID=19986628

But the URL of that image is this:
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/50/l_89f37c6165667d6d1d84742def065d82.jpg

Depending on the browser you use, you will need to get that image URL in slightly different ways.

For the 22.4% of you that use Firefox, it is easy. Simple right click the image and select "Copy Image Location". Then come back to the forum and paste that URL into that "Image URL:" text box.

For the 72.3% of you that use Internet Explorer, it is harder. Right click on the image and select "Properties". Then in the window that pops up, look for "Address: (URL)". Then highlight everything that is next to that making sure you get the entire link. To select the link you can also triple click on it. Then right click on the highlighted text and hit "Copy". Then come back to the forum and paste that URL into that "Image URL:" text box.

For other browsers, like Safari (2.6% of you), Unknown (1.2%), Google Chrome (0.8%), Mozilla (0.5%), Opera (near 0%), Netscape (near 0%), Nokia Browser (near 0%), and Lynx (near 0%), it's probably very similar.

The only thing you have to be careful of is not to have two "http://" at the start of your URL. That happens when someone rights clicks and pastes into the image URL field without first using the left button in it. I am going to see if I can help correct that problem now.
