I tried 12 different ways and couldn't get it to appear
Can someone post how the [img/] photo [img/]
is supposed to be written out?
thanks
It needs to be [img ] at the beginning and[/img ] at the end of the image address.
You did not have a [ before the /img] at the end. It needs to be[/img].
Ok.. let me try again

I think this is what you were looking for. I put in an { instead of a [ only to show you what the text portion looks like. It should be an [.
You do realize there's a button along the top of the screen that does this for you, right? If you look up in the window where you are typing your post, you will see the colorful field - to pick the color of your text. Just above it is another toolbar of buttons, starting with an colorful circle. Next to that one, to the right, is a light blue button, looks like a small Polaroid photo.
If you click on that one, it will automatically enter the opening and closing brackets for you, and put your cursor right where it needs to be for you to simply right click and paste, or Ctrl+V...having previously copied the image URL onto your clipboard.

Good luck!
