A techie question for Myriads (or anybody else who can help).

As per your intructions in the "how to post a pic" thread...I created a website and uploaded pictures to that site. The pics are linked and everything..but when I tried to post one in a reply I was making to another thread...all I get is that tiny box with a red "X" in the center. Please advise....what have I done wrong?

Thanks very much in advance for any assistance rendered.

No can do sir...I deleted My posts once I saw they didn't come out right.

It was the "What kind of feet do you prefer?" on page one of the Discussion board...not that that makes any difference.

I'll try to post it again later.

Thanks for the help anyway.

basically I wanted to see how you were doing the code for the image, and I was also going to see if where you put them allows cross linking. Where are you storing the pics?

Here is what I mean...

Creating a website isn't as easy as some make it sound. I really suck at this stuff.

What's the verdict doc?

It's how you're constructing your link. Right click and view source, find the url to the picture (i.e. http://members.lycos.co.uk/inducer/hpbimg/picturename.jpg) then put that in an img tag here in your post. Here's one from your site:
