Apologies to Ted / Mods for jumping in.

Firstly the pic needs to be hosted, try www.imageshack.us where it is free to host pics.

Once your pic is online you need the URL (web address of the pic) such as www.imageshack.us/pic1.jpg

Now type [pic] at the beginning of the URL and [/pic] at the end of the URL such as [pic]nospacewww.imageshack.us/pic1.jpgnospace[/pic]

Hope this helps. If you get stuck try quoting this post and the code for the pic below will give you a clue.

LMAO as I did when I read your posts.

But it helped me to understand how to work it out-- copy paste etc.

Nothing wrong in asking for help.. as you did

Just an addition.

when typing in the website url where the pic is hosted, you need to add the http:// part, not just www.host.com/pic.jpg bit

Depends, sometimes the parser will work it out.
