I am trying to insert an image to a thread I want to start in the General Physics area. This is what I have done:

1. Click the "image" icon in the above toolbar
2. I have the image uploaded on "photobucket" and went to the section "shared links" option of "IMG"
3. I clicked into the space to choose that option
4. right clicked and chose "paste" into the space labelled "image url"
5. Clicked insert button

http://[URL=http://s827.photobucket.com/user/gloo68/media/funneledpiston.png.html][ATTACH=full]199580[/ATTACH]

I don't see it working. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I think it has to do with what I included in the paste of the link

Take out the URL bbcode and just place the URL between the IMG tags. It's important to remember to use a publicly accessible address that leads to the image only, not a page that contains the image

Two vertical tubes of liquid with red lines at the surface, black arrows pointing down on the surface and a light blue arrow pointing up. Diagram A shows the surface flat. Diagram B shows the surface pulled down into a dip with red lines angled downward from the centre.

Greg, I don't know what i did to get it to work...lol. I can't even find myself in the dark. Basically i deleted everything except the tags and what is between it. I got the image inserted because i just pasted the entire thing i copied form photobucket and thought the xxx would make it not get picked up as a link. Guess that's who i got the image up. Maybe i will just go with that method.
