adding pictures

Hi lucyanya!

Indeed your image must be uploaded somewhere.
Then you can use this code [img](place image URL here)[/img]image

Hi Armand,  I tried this but perhaps I'm an idiot because it didn't work.

Basically, I clicked the 'image' icon, when it said insert url I pasted both img code and thumbnail code, codes copied from photobucket (separate tries).

However, both times, just the code came up on the msg and no picture.
What have I done incorrectly?  This is not the first time i've had problems.  Julien fixed it for me last time but I still don't know how to do it without needing you guys to rescue me.
Thanks tons for your help.

see,  just loads of bumph
but no pic
I've tried pasting the img code, the thumbnail code, the html code

aaarrrgghh

do you have the "http://" at the beginning ?  check for extra spaces in the text your pasting ( beginning and end especially ) and can you add images from a different site?

Thanks Julian,  by jove,  I think I've got it. 

I think I should stick to my wind up gramophone  hehe
This technology stuff and me don't seem to get on..


I can paste in the code and get the pic no problem if I DON'T use the img icon.  I think it boils down to too much information and conflicting instructions.  SORTED.
