You're linking to an ".html" file. You need to link to the actual .jpg or .gif.

- Go to the picture you want to post
- Right click on the image , a menu will drop down
- Click on "copy shortcut"
- Go back to the post you were making
- paste the new shortcut between the IMG tags.

you're all set.

Let me know if this helps

Fixed it for you in your post...
It was because the URL it gave you had some extra letters. Just had to take those extra letters off and you had your image...

The original URL:
http://members.aol.com/gtpkfuxplurny...mtbrand=AOL_US

The one I used that made it work

thanks annesta but i dont understand hwo it works but kool is about the only pic i need so thank you

Its just the image you chose had a weird URL

So unless you were a hardcore internet savvy computer user, then I totally understand why it's a little hard to understand...

Yeah it's a little confusing... Next time follow the same steps and you shouldn't have any problems posting an image! I'm off to bed now bai bai
