you're using the picture box - the one just to the left of the smiley face? enter the web address there. If you're on a mac, I find it only works it I put the picture in BEFORE I type a single thing. On a PC I never have a problem.

In order to make something click, highlight the url and press the chain link button. I've only ever had success with this on a pc

PIP (Picture in Post):
Option 1
1. Find a picture you'd like to PIP. I use Google Image, then click "view full size." You will know it will work when ONLY the picture you'd like to PIP is on the page and nothing else. Copy the URL where the picture (only) resides. Alterantely (and maybe easier) you can right click on the picture and click "Copy Image Location."

2. Click on Insert Image in the post. Paste the URL into the "image URL" space, and click Insert.

3. You may have to re-size the image. One way of doing this is to drag the square boxes to make it smaller. Or in the Dimensions box, 300x300 is a good size.

Option 2:
1. Find a picture you would like to use. If you are wanting to use a picture from the internet, right click on the image and save to your computer (where ever you want to---I have a TTCAL folder, so I can save pictures I think I will want to use later, but I have also saved to my desktop so it is easy to find).

2. Go to www.tinypic.com. Upload your picture. For the Resize drop down menu, chose the size you would like to use. I like the Website/Email option when posting a PIP in a thread. But the Thumbnail option works well for pictures in your siggy.

3. After it uploads, copy the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" code and paste it directly into your post.

Or. If it's a picture on the internet somewhere. Right click it, click copy. In the Message, right click, and paste. Tada!
