It's in the F.A.Qs.
The "bgafd" below is just given as an example. There has been some discussion of problems encountered with this procedure. Do a search. I recollect that it doesn't always work because the website hosting the pic. may be protected in some way. I guess if its on a membership site there would be a real problem.

[img]http://www.bgafd.co.uk/images/banner_small.jpg[/img] (for example) will include an image in your post. For this to work you must ensure that the image you're linking to is stored on some web space and that you have included the FULL address of the image.

I was only trying to copy and paste from the FAQs. I didn't Preview....bugger.

You can't post a .jpg from your own computer. It has to be on a website then you post a link to the url.

The example in the FAQ isn't an image that exists - have corrected it with one that does.
