Adding links and images
Q: How can I add images to my posts?
A: Image links are allowed in the classifieds and forums. Most photo album services such as Flickr and Image Shack offer link code to easily add your galleries or single photos to blogs, and websites.

If you know basic html you can add images, videos and all kinds of stuff to your posts, but obviously keep it legal and tasteful. If you don't know basic html the image code is easy. You can see the code to link a picture below, and remember to aware of case when adding links and images. Improper case will break links and images every time.

Q: I linked my picture but it won't show up. What now?!
A: Check the spelling and case. Make sure the image loads in your browser with the address you used in the src= section of the link code. If it doesn't load then your address to the picture is wrong.

Also note that you can not link pictures off your computer. If your address to the picture looks like "C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\My Pictures\coolpicture.jpg" then your picture will never be displayed. You need to sign up with a service like Flickr or Image Shack to host your pictures.
