Help with attaching image to post

[Bill Zahn]

OKay,

I can link to an image (see link below), but when I try insert the image into my post I get invalid URL. Do I not need the http in the URL name? Any thoughts

Thanks.....here the link... http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/89/51803117.jpg

Thanks Bill "Soup" Zahn

Hi Bill,

Just sent you a PM about this same thing lol What I did was I went to your link that you posted. Right clicked on the image. Then copy image. And pasted to this post here:

Geez,
That's what my wife said to do and I said, "No, it doesn't work that way." When will I learn she is smarter than me. Thanks again....and the gods of the website should feel free to delete this thread as to not clutter more important topics...Thanks again.

Normally you can use the insert image button, but the forum software has a bug and needs to be updated a.s.a.p.

Workaround is to wrap an offsite hosted image link between bbcode

Yo Bill, welcome sir! Late I know.
Your cars looking sweet!
Regards
George

 

[Bill Zahn]

George, great to hear from you.
I still have the MX5 with your name on it if you want it.
I can change the colors, change the sponsor if you'd like

By now you probably have a skin you really like. If so, let me know and I'll offer this to anyone who wants it....(Without George Pilkington painted on the door)

Thanks for the hello .....Bill

Still working on posting a image. When I copy the image from its location and simply paste into a posting all I get is code.

When I tried wrapping is in code that didn't work either.

Will Marquez did it.....Why can't I?

I surrender

Bill

 

[Bill Zahn]

I got it......Will Marquez thought it might be a browser problem and
BINGO got it.

Information for the next poor guy.....COPY PASTE doesn't work with FIREFOX

Good News...I figured this out
Bad News....You all are going to be bombarded with my skins

Thanks again Will.....way to go

 

[Will Marquez]

Glad that we could finally figure it out Bill

Bill, Its on my car mate, but its a bit...'French' on the colours mate...
Us Brits love red white and blue, but its a Tricolour like wot the Frenchies ) have on their flag. Well thats what the missus says.
I would love just all Union Flag please...
Thanks Bill.
George

 

[Bill Zahn]

Yep,
I saw french too as soon as I finished it. I missed the mark and I hate to fail. Okay, you will have the Union Flag Mazda before the first race of the series. I'll PM you when it's ready.
