inserting picture

I am trying to post a picture on a link. Ive been told to do it like this but it won't work. Can someone tell me where im going wrong.
Open locost in both areas
Open picture
Right click
Select properties
Highlight address
CTRL C
select insert image on second locost page
delete old line
ctrl v to insert text
OK .

When I go to preview post I am not getting the image just the Jpeg number

If I click on the Jpeg number I still cant get the image

Any suggestions. Graham

There's a space in the address? It doesn_t like 'em.

Should be the link address set between [img] and [/img] tags...

no space that i can see

i saw the test thing you made, i don't think you were right clicking on the picture itself, because the link was for a .php file, not .jpg

what picture are you trying to paste?

Right click

.....Select.........Copy Image Location

In the reply box click on the picture icon...get rid of the highlighted Http bit.....

Right click in that box and choose paste





Make sure of course, that it is a .jpg file and it is loaded into your photo archive ok...

can there be a faq page that tells you how to do all this stuff? it gets asked over and over, maybe it would be helpful. i've been on another forum that has it, and the question never comes up (and on that forum theres no buttons to do it all for you)
