Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).

Thanks, Des. :)

PU40? Go to properties of a pic.. copy the URL address.. paste that in between [img]and[/img] (you can see the Img button above the posting box.. you can use that too.. click it once.. paste the address and click it again. ) :D
