Also note that not all forums allow inline images (I think maybe only this one and Trip Reports), so sometimes it will just be the link. But if you send me what you've got I'll figure it out, and I can add it to the instructions above.

S.

Edit to add: I just took a quick look at the WebShots page and it looks like it should be pretty easy. On the page for any image there is a link to "link to it" that you can click on. On that page, there is a dialog with three rows of text boxes and some tabs above them. Select the size you want the image to be from the tabs (I recommend 500 or 600). Then copy all the text in the bottom of the three boxes - the one labeled "post in a forum" - and paste it here.

I randomly started on this page (http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1...62814050OEkqYH) and following the above steps I got this code (with a couple spaces added in):
[U RL=h ttp://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1234419121062814050OEkqYH][I MG]h ttp://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/34219/1234419121062814050S500x500Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] that, when pasted unadulturated into this forum gives the following result:


I hope this helps. Assuming it does I'll add the details up above as part of the main section of the thread.

Thanks, sbm12!

Your instructions for webshots seem to work. But, I also did send you a PM question about the whole deal with pictures not appearing int he posts. In fact, in your reply, that random picture that you posted from webshots appeared only as a hyperlink when I read it. Now, that I read it again, the actual picture IS in the post.

Oh, I just realized that it appears that only when I'm NOT logged into FT, do the actual pictures appear in the post. Otherwise, being logged in, just the hyperlink shows. Strange...?
