Logan ~ You must post pictures the
hard way .

The "IMAGE" Push Button is one of the features available on Pet Talk that is just below the post entry Message box. Just below the message box are two feature boxes:
* One labeled "Instant Icons"
* and One labeled "Instant UBB Code"

In the Instant UBB Code box are push buttons that activate Bold, Italics, Link(URL), and IMAGE features.

When you activate a push button; a data entry box pops up where you can fill in the words you want made BOLD, or in Italics, or shown as an active Link, or as a Photo Image.

The IMAGE button gives you a data box to paste in the photo address location. After you paste in the photo's address, click on the OK box to return to the message entry box. And you'll notice that the photo's address is AUTOMATICALLY wrapped inside the special [im g] and [/im g] code brackets.

Like, it's jest plain MAGIC!!

The bold and italic buttons likewise put the [b] and [/ b] or the [i] and [/ i] brackets around whatever words you enter into the data box.

Takes a bit of getting used to, but they're all pretty handy.

Gotta watch for two things, though...

* After you use the buttons, the durn cursor returns to the TOP of the message box - if you don't arrow back down to where you were in the message, you'll start erasing the top of your message. (Been there, dun that !!)

* And the URL (link) and IMAGE (photo) buttons ALWAYS put their output at the BOTTOM of your message at the time you use them. You CAN highlight, cut, and paste the results back up into the middle of your post if you want to.

Try 'em; you might find some of the feature buttons handy.
