If you replace the "url" between the brackets with "img", we'll see...

When posting, you can either manually type [ i m g ] -the URL- [ / i m g ] or you can click on the small icon of the mountain above the message field (

), and cut and paste the URL.
 
Try again!

Hey Fritz,

I edited your post a bit and put the [/img] at the end of the stuff you'd already put up. The IMG at the start tells vBulletin (our forum software) to go somewhere else and get a picture and the /IMG at the end tells vbulletin when to stop reading the text as an image link.

You did a great job getting the image link, though.

Sweet bike too! :thumb

Thanks for the patience and support. Here is one more try with my /5 that I just sold. Boo Hoo! I hope this works so jdt367 doesn't hurt him self by rolling on the floor laughing!

The best choice for including the smugmug shots isn't the tiny shot, but the small or medium. So, for example, instead of ending with "Ti.jpg" it would end with "S.jpg".

One thing I try to remember is the people on dialup, so I will put the smaller picture up and then a link to the larger picture. There are a few ways to do that, for me the easiest is to create a link to the big picture using the hyperlink tool that looks like <img src="http://forums.bmwmoa.org/classic_images/editor/createlink.gif" > and put in the text, "Click for bigger image" then I create the image link. I then cut the text of the image link and paste it right before the Click.

Make Sense?
 
Hey Lee,

I don't think Yahoo allows for linking of photos on their site. Kind of a drag, to say the least.
