How did you know I liked Star Trek! :D

Anyhow - there's 2 ways. The easiest when posting is to press the button that says "IMG" just above the box you type in (under SIZE FONT COLOR). It pops up with a box that asks for the url (web address) of the image. Just type it in and hit OK

If the image is on you're 'puter you'll need to upload it to your webspace first - most isp's give you enough free space to do it. That's a bit more complicated - you'll need an FTP program to upload you images first. You can get plenty of free ones on the net. I recommend Smart FTP as being free and easy to use. Do a search for it.

The second way is to manually add the tags - this is how you can put one in a sig - that'll point to your image.

All you do is type

(img)http://urlhere(/img)

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the SQUARE BRACKETs [ ] not the round ones (I've used those cos it'll show an error, not the tags). It's easy - just think: (img) = start of image location (/img) = end of image location. Just remember SQUARE BRACKETS [ ]
