Link to External ImagesUse this method to link directly to images stored on photosharing sites such as Flickr, Photobucket, etc., or on other websites.
Go to the toolbar row above the smilies and click on the second button from the left, and enter the url to the image in the pop-up box. The picture will be inserted in your post at the cursor position. Alternatively, you can place img tags can be placed anywhere in your post - just make sure the URL to your photo is inside the img tags as shown below:
[img]http://yourphotos.com/johnsmith/myphoto.jpg[/img]
remember to add the forward slash '/' before the second img tag or else the picture won't display correctly.
Pictures larger than 630 pixels wide can be viewed full sized by clicking on the picture.
Some websites don't like people linking to images on their websites as it increases their bandwidth and makes their site slow down. Therefore some images may not display in your posts or may disappear a few days later because the hosting site has blocked the pictures from outside sources.
