Ken,
Could you explain in more detail how to post a photo? Sorry for the momentary quasi-off-topic.
OK, it's really fairly simple, although there are a couple of little things that can trip you up. All you need to do is to type or paste in the URL for the image that you want to display, then select it and hit the
Img button. This will enclose the URL in a pair of image tags like this:
Code:
[img]http://photobucket.com/albums/a56/FPrice/?action=view¤t=101_0141.jpg[/img]
This is exactly what was attempted originally for the picture in question.
So why didn't it work?
Here's where things sometimes get tricky. The problem is that this URL is for a web page,
not for an image. It's a little deceptive in this case, since the URL ends with a ".jpg" extension. If you look carefully, you'll see that it's a URL for an active page
http://photobucket.com/albums/a56/FPrice/, that's being passed two parameter values:
action=view and
current=101_0141.jpg. The first tells the page what to do (view) and the second tells it what to do it to or with (101_0141.jpg). If you go to the page indicated by this URL and click the little link below the image (101_0141.jpg), you'll see that the actual URL for the image itself is
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/FPrice/101_0141.jpg
Now if you use this URL, and enclose it in image tags like this:
Code:
[img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a56/FPrice/101_0141.jpg[/img]
you get this:
