Posting a picture

Hi all:

I've been trying to post pictured to my posts and I'm having trouble.

This is the image I tried to post:
http://www.mediafire.com/view/47p9u2...9_09.01.27.png

Unfortunately, when I click on the "Insert Image" icon, and paste this URL, all I get is this:



Can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong?

You need to right click(PC) or Control click (Mac) the image on the page you linked and select "Copy Image URL", then go into the Insert Image icon on your post and paste the image URL. Then you'll get the image in the post.

That said, when I first posted, I had your image in my post, but I edited my post and removed it because it was HUGE. So please be aware of this and only post the full image if you absolutely need to (and if you only need one small section of it, crop it using an image editor).

I just tried your method and it worked perfectly. I did a practice post and previewed the post before I submitted, and I can definitely see where my screenshot it huge and will need to be resized or cropped.

Thank's!!!
