    Hi,

    I've trawled the forum, tried every combination i can think of with code, images, media and still can't get them to post.

    Am I just being dumb?

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Put the URL to the image itself (not a webpage displaying it) between "img" tags.

    So [img]http://i.imgur.com/0s2oODO.gif[/img] results in:

    [​IMG]

    You can also click on the button with a little picture of a tree above the edit box and paste the URL into the dialog box that pops up.

    Also, note that you can't link a file directly from your hard drive. You must first upload it to a third-party hosting site, then hotlink it from there.

    Hi! does that actually preview or does it show the little broken picture?

    Thanks by the way :)
