loading pictures

I don't seem to be able to load images with the new web site format. What am I missing?

How do I load this?

Like this?

The correct way is to include img and /img tags [in square brackets] around the picture address.

Edit: fixed it

Many thx Iain, seemed my security settings were preventing me from doing so.

Well, you could just replace the url tags either side of the web address with img tags.

That would give you this

the img commands look like this

But probably as well to have a look at the photo posting FAQ

Sorry to hi jak, but what if the picture isn't on a web site but on a local drive?

Have a look at the FAQ it covers both scenarios.

Thats what I thought, you can't display a picture in the message if it's from your local disk, it only adds as an attachment, to display the picture itself it needs to be from a web site.

No, that isn't correct. You can display an image ... 1 in quantity/per post if you are a sponsor.
You don't use the "Insert Image" button but scroll down further to "Manage Attachments" where you browse to find the image on your hard drive then upload it.
It you upload more than one image to ukgser it won't display and will only show a link.

If you want to use photos that are hosted on another website the one photo per post limit doesn't apply.

OK sorry, thanks for that, I'll try it next time.
Cheers
