All I did above was type "test" in the box, then attach the file by using the attach button.


The better way (in my unasked for opinion) is to use image tags. Let me see if I remember this before I look like an idiot:

Yep, just type [img],%20then%20the%20URL%20of%20your%20picture%20and%20then[/img]

ie. [img]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j72/s ... G_5491.jpg[/img]


Make sure that you're linking to the picture (probably a .jpg) and not the page displaying your picture. I use photobucket and I need the "direct link".

Obviously, copy and paste is your friend here. If your pictures are well-organized on your photo site, you might be able to paste the same link in several times and just change the last number or two.
