I did a search but no luck. I'm actually having a problem with Backup and want to post a screen shot of it. 600+ posts and I never learned how post an image....

TIA....

If you hit the "Image" button when you make a new post, you *should* be prompted to enter the URL of the image. This does NOT work in Safari for whatever reason.

so, instead, type (IMG)http://urlofimagetobeposted(/IMG)

just use [ and ] instead of ( and )

If you stick an image in the "Sites" folder of your iDisk, the URL is
http://homepage.mac.com/yourusername/nameofimage.jpg

Thanks, Spheric. I have tried a couple different things but I can't seem to get the image to appear inline. What am I doing wrong?

I don't get it. There wasn't a dash in my reply post to Spheric. Why won't the image show up? Thanks....

Fixed.

You had both [URL] and [IMG] vB code going on, you only needed the [IMG] tags...
