You might want to search the archives since there is a lot of info there that describes the process better than I will. I had this question myself a while back. It makes sense on the how to, but you have to have images stored on a website, and not just on your computer.

I'll give it a go and try to explain how it's done.

First off, I believe you have to have the images posted on a website that is accessible on the web. I'm being redundant, no?

The address of that particular image out on the web can then be typed out here on this box, and then you highlight it by right clicking and dragging a blue box across the entire addy. Then click on the "Img" field listed above this box. That is a command that will make it show up as an image rather than simply listing the address.

As an example, this is the address of one on my images on my website.

http://home.att.net/~cymabi/images/img22.jpg

and here it is once I type it out, but then highlight it and bracket it with the "Img" button.

If you don't have a website, use a Webshots, Picturetrail or some such public web album and simply post the address to the images as a link for us to go to.

This is a link to my webshots album.

http://community.webshots.com/photo/327 ... 3452CIgWLd

I can't put it up as an image, because Webshots blocks that kind of access, but I can give you the link to the image.

Make sense?

sorta about posting pics

I'm rather fond of the little walking dude.

Right click on him, then click on properties and you'll get his address. That particular site has many little gif files to chose from.

Then when you find an address that you like insert it in your signature box in the profile section as an image....the "Img" thing again with the addy as I described earlier. If you do it that way, it comes up with your signature everytime.

If you want to add a gif in the body of the text, just add the address in the text , but you have to do the "Img" thing or it will only show as a link.

how cool

hey, no swearing!

do this:
type [ i m g ]
paste in your url path
type [ / i m g ]

omit the spaces. all on one line. put it in your sig block in the preferences section.

Chip, do you mean Ufda? As a teen, I lived in Oslo, Norway and I can still get away with saying it when needed!

Sonje :wink:

Yes, that's what I mean, although I have no idea what its definition is! Am I in trouble?? :shock:

Chip, I apologize for spelling it wrong...it should be 'Uffda'.

Prounounced (OOF-Dah), means WOW!, OH NO!, WHOOPS!, Or GOOD GRIEF! It is a mild Scandinavian expletive, don't worry. I think it's less obscene than many other expletives!

Sonje :D

Hi Sonje, I noticed it too,- Chip using "uffda"... made me giggle :D
It reminds me, in strenght of swearing, of "good grief" used by Charlie Brown (wasn't it him?) Funny, Chip!!!

Uffda must be samoan for devitritification or something else horrible.

A curious English expletive that I never really understood is 'Well,' at the beginning of a sentence. I looked-it up once. Its used to lend a number of different tones to replies. Its used a lot on bulletin boards. There are people who prefix every one of their replies with 'Well,'. I imagine them to be Eeyore The Donkey-types. I can't find any etymology on 'Well,', but I figure its a diminutive for 'Well-enough said, however you're full of baloney' , or 'Well, ok, this is tedious, but let me condescend at great annoyance to using your terminology' or something like that.
