I've tried img src= but it doesn't work.<br /><br />Anybody know the command?

Re: How do I put pictures in a post?

My pix are hosted on my own website but I couldn't find the answer to posting them in FAQ or my initial searches of this site. I had to go back over 2 years to find an answer at http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000498 <br /><br />For anyone who stumbles on this thread with the same question, here's how to post pix in your post, and it's so simple I'm embarrassed I had to ask about it. Forget HTML commands.<br /><br />1. Have your pic hosted on a site. See link above for more info if you don't know what that means.<br /><br />2. Copy site address for your pic from the address line in your browser.<br /><br />3. Put cursor where you want pic in your post.<br /><br />4. Click on IMAGE button under Instant UBB Code below the window you're typing your post in.<br /><br />5. Paste the site address in the window that comes up, click OK, and it's done.<br /><br />Unless I missed something FAQ tells people how to upload avatars but not pix. It might be worthwhile including the picture posting instructions in FAQ.

Now put that in the 'IMAGE' prompt and you're done.<br />

Something I learned...and this may be just me and the way my system copies and pastes...whenever I paste a link in the image field and it goes to the message box, I always have to delete a space thats put in by the first
>took me a little while to figure that  one out.
