Put (img) before the link and (/img) after the link and the picture will show up instead of the URL address.
Replace the parentheses () in the IMG tags with brackets[]. Or click the button above the reply block () that looks like a mountain with a yellow background and put the URL address between the IMG tags.
When your pictures are hosted at Photo-bucket you dont have to insert the image brackets or link brackets or any of these![]()
because photobucket includes the brackets along with the properties to the picture.
