Should I write something else than that?What am I doing wrong?

if the image is from a website, you don't type [attachment] in between the [img] tags, you just put the url of the picture between the [img] tags

[attachment] is only used if the image is one you are uploading with your post

Make sure you select the attachment right before clicking the "New Thread" or "New Reply" submit button (the attachment will be lost if you click Preview). Also, make sure the file is less than 2 MB. Did you get any error messages?

Note: Images can be hosted on ImageShack or something as well, if attachments are too much trouble.

No. But how can I select the attachment before clicking new thread. By the way, The picture is not from a website. I have it on my computer.

It didn't work.Does the picture have to be png format?

No.

Fortunately I found it. The picture I was trying to use was a bitmap. When I changed it to png it finally showed up. Thanks very much for all your help and sorry for wasting your time. Thanks again.

It makes no difference which format it is

I think he probably wrote it out wrong.

I sometimes do it, it's an easy mistake
