Rex (it is Rex, isn't it?) I copied this for you from the stuff to the left of the Quick Reply box where it says in yellow UBB Code is enabled. You just click on it and all this info pops up for you. I cut and pasted the pertinent info for you below:

To add a graphic within your message, just enclose the URL to the image as shown in the following example.


Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [IMG] code.

Be sure there are no spaces anywhere. In a nutshell, type in [img] yourURLhere [/img] like so.

So, basically, the image you want to put in must have URL code. It cannot merely be stored in your computer. It must come from a webpage/website, is that correct, John? I have a picture section in my Documents section of my 'puter, but, that won't work. I had to upload my selected picture to a free website that uploads your pics for you. We just usually beg John. ("pretty pleeeeeeze....") However, a few of us did actually find a free website. You can try hostmyfile.com I don't know if it's still working, but, it's worth a try. I hope I helped.

Thanks for trying Sheryl but the recalcitrant person ain't buying it yet
I noted that your picture that you posted on the test forum has long since expired so as I have said before I have withdrawn my earlier recommendation to use hostmyfile who will only hold a graphic file for a short time unless it is constantly visited,so for now you are left with a choice of using the "corfid" folder on my MSN communities site at:-
http://groups.msn.com/corfiddisplay
or any other free picture upload place except a Yahoo group where I do believe linking pix to display here is not reliable
you must join the group click on "picture" select the corfid display album then the "add photo" link and agree to Install the MSN Photo Upload Control
"This will take approximately 3 to 4 minutes with a 56-Kbps modem."
Then all you need to do is find the uploaded pictures address (URL) and place it between the pair of UB image tags ([img] and[/img] or take the easy way out and use the new image feature in the "Instant UBB code" block under the "post a reply" composition box and post the copied address in the nice pop-up box that appears
[img]http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RgAmA7kVOgxQXo2t0DH0G6eBxNSiZj3zRph5dBL5KhQuCOVJJ NhxGlQeBD8KaO64*3Sor1EWrcLmGhso8f!wcje8U1YGHkOTNKQ Jxn3B*HE/image6.jpg[/img]
In this case I used a picture that I had already uploaded to my own site where its address is
different but can also be found by a simple right click on the picture>select "properties">copy and paste

Am I persistant or what??
