I think I figured it out.  The url is WAY too long and it's probably getting cut off.  So I went to tinyurl.com and made a smaller url

let's see

How did you do that I still cant get it to work
 

When I went to copy the properties I had to scroll, it's a REALLY REALLY long url

You probably haven't copied all of it.

I think what you did on the last one is you copied the URL of the website NOT the picture    :/

No worries, as Scarlett said, I'll think about that tomorrow, LOL

Hi everybody,

OK, so what I'm basically asked to explain is how to post a picture within the message. First after clicking on "reply" to a thread, you'll see a row of gray/silver icons you can click on. Click on the icon that looks like a person's eye among those icons. Then, you'll see a bracketed html code (which can't be posted here, because it either won't show at all or because some weird characters appear on here) and your cursor will be right in the middle of that bracket configuration where you can paste the link to your picture. You can't just past the link the picture is on, but you have to paste the actual link location of the picture. If your on Mozilla Firefox, right click the image and then choose "Copy Link Location". If you use Internet Explorer, you right click on the photo, then choose properties, then copy the link that comes after "Address (URL):". If the link is too long, go to www.tinyurl.com and create a shorter link on there by pasting the original long version into the box that says "Enter a long URL to make tiny:" and it will give you a new, shorter URL that you can paste between the bracket configuration mentioned above.

Hope that helps,
Mark
