You should not have pressed enter after pasting it, make sure the [/img] comes right after the url

And I think it has to start with http://www. or something like that

[scotty]

or something like that

ya dancer they'll never believe this on general chat, a quote and an image

Thanks

[Obviousman]

indeed

[scotty]

OK,getting the hang of things now{with all your help,good people of HL }but having problems finding pick's with http:// at the front,cant I type that at the front then submit?

[Obviousman]

Sure... You can type all you want

Nope,not getting a picture,it either comes up with a wee red cross{copyri'?}or the curser drops down a line?.

[scotty]

so far this is the only picture on the WHOLE net i can copy,can't find any ending in jpg,do they need to?

[Obviousman]

Look at Laz's point 2

The wee red cross signifies the image can't be found, does not exist on that location, so you must've used the wrong url then, I guess...

It can also mean that you're trying to direct link from a website that has disallowed that option. (If that link doesn't give a helpful definition you can always do a simple google search yourself.)

Sorry; I only know this because I come from an online pixel graphics "community" that basically lists direct linking (mainly from small sites) as a cardinal sin. A lot of well-known sites on the internet have disallowed direct linking because of the bandwidth issues. For example, pictures on a Geocities account--at least on geocities.com accounts--cannot be direct linked to.

Yup, I'll go back to lurking now.

How would I hide a URL behind a word, eg; "clicky" or "Here"?.

You type <url=http://www.whatever.co.uk>clicky</url> but replace the < and > with [ and ]

[scotty]

Much thanks Obviousman

[scotty]

Right, I can get the *clicky* highlighted in red behind the "[url]" but when I click on it it comes up with"page not found" , any ideas?

[Obviousman]

Can you give the example of what you did/are doing? If you do that I can correct it in a quote

[James Blast]

alternatively, get a Photobucket account, copy and paste the images to your HD and upload them from there
you're even more confused now, aren't you?

You know me so well

[scotty]

[url = http://www.ghostdance.co.uk/ this but without the spaces gives me this

I see the problem, after your url don't put but just ] like [ url=http://www.ghost ... his result

[James Blast]

thanks Z, that should sort him out, if not, the word Numpty! is already being loaded into my cannon
