just wondering how

Upload your picture to a free picture hosting site like Image Shack, Flicker, Photobucket (my fav), etc.

Once the pictures are uploaded, use the image link like this:

{img} URL of picture {/img}

but change the {} to [] brackets

ok thnx

it just shows a lil red x instead of a pic i hit show pic and it doesnt

Are you trying to link a single picture or an album?

If it's a single picture, it needs to end with .jpg, .bmp, .gif, etc...



Edit: Flicker sucks for [img] tags.

Photobucket gives you the image tags with the picture.

imagevenue.com and imagebam.com also give you several kind of links for each pic

Photobucket picture quality sucks. I tried it then used flickr. Flickr is wayyyy better than Photobucket.
I get the HTML/BBCode from flickr and just paste it in the post.
But yeah, if you use the [img] things, flickr doesn't work. When you paste the code from flickr, it uses [img] within the [url]
[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/60002134@N03/6006179369/][img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6127/6006179369_182546ab85.jpg[/img[/url

I took the last bracket out of the ending [img] and [url] this flickr code to show how it looks.

IMO, photobucket sucls for embedding in posts like on a forum. Sometimes all I ever see is a little box saying "This picture has been either deleted or removed" from photobucket. So, I like flickr.

When you see that, it's because the person who posted it either deleted or moved the image.
That's not PBs fault.
