    Not sure what this means as I have never used this before.
    It asked me to add a picture through a URL, but am unsure how to go about this.
    All I wanted to do is add a picture to a thread.
    Please help.:sofa:

    Hi Landi,

    Its the link for a site address.

    If you click on the address for the site you are on in the bar at the top, the bit that starts http://, it should go blue, then right click your mouse & select copy.

    That will store it. Then click in the box where you want to put it, right click again & select paste. that should put the link in:dbgrtmb:

    First, if you want to upload a picture from your computer, there is an explanation here http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/uploading-a-picture-in-a-post.89/ and if you want to add a pic from an image hosting site, the link to be copied and pasted normally has image tags at either end and can be pasted directly into the post.

    But if you want to post showing an image on another website and have clicked on the 'insert/edit image' button and are being prompted for a url/address, then you'll need to have previously right mouse clicked on that image, selected properties, copied the image url (normally ending in .jpg) and then you can paste that in the url input field and click on insert. For example:

    url.png


    url2.png

    And using the above image url will produce ...
