    If you're trying to link to an image already on the internet then find that image, right click on it and select "copy image location"

    Next go to the message you're attempting to post here and then type [IMG] then right click after it and select paste, the image location should then appear after that, then end it with [/IMG]

    The [ is not to be confused with {. You'll find these keys beside the P on your keyboard, (the { is highcase)

    Hope this helps.

    Did you use the insert image button?

    I'm not too savvy on picasa so not sure what options you get for sharing, you're looking for a direct link or a file ending with .jpg

    I'm having a similar problem loading pics from the computer. I keep getting the file to big marker. I've adjusted the settings to standard editor as advised, but still no joy. Its probably me.
    Cheers,

    Right click on the image in your Picasa album and click 'Copy Image URL'.

    Then add the IMGs described by biker.

    A Picasa image URL will look something like this...

    Stick the IMGs on either side of the above link and an image will appear in the thread.
