To put an image here on the message board, the image must already be uploaded somewhere on the internet, doesn't matter where. This site, another site, your profile, wherever it is what you need to do is alternate (right) click on the image then click "properties". Then copy the url listed and click on the image tool. In the popup box paste the url you copied and click ok.

I know this has been covered before, maybe way more than just once or twice, but people still have problems doing it, (yeah I'm guilty too ) so I figured I'd post a message just for this, that hopefully people will read.

And thanks to goodmorphing for explaining it to me.
