Nope...we can't see it without clikcing the link....to make it appear wihtin a post you need to type in the following:

[ IMG ]http://www.webspaceforyourimage.jpg[ /IMG ]

Just type it in without the spaces either side of the IMG and /IMG bits. :thumbs:

I'd also advise against saving pictures you want to put on the board as .bmp as that's an uncompressed file and it will usually be huuuge.

1. Go to www.irfanview.com and download their image manipulation program. It's free and a brilliant tool. :)

2. When you resize your images, save them as .jpg

3. Then, go to www.uploadit.org and sign up for the free account to start with (or if you're feeling flush, pay the fiver or whatever and sign up for the premium account for more or less unlimited upload space). You can use the upload facility there to save pics bigger than 100kb. then, when you've uploaded the pic, the site will give you the link to your piccie.

4. Click said link and it'll open the picture.

5. Copy the url from the address bar and post it on here with the [img.]http://www.imageaddresshere.jpg[/img.] (but without the .'s before the ]'s) code and hey presto, Bob's your uncle, loe and behold, the picture should appear here. :D

Hth's.
