Hmmm.... maybe the same reason you can't find the correct forum to post in.

Welcome to Stangnet!

The best way to post images within a forum is to first host that image. Imageshack is just one example of where you can host your image. Once that is done you can code the URL for the image to be displayed in the forum. For example:

This will show the image in the post as opposed to giving you a link to have click on to see it.

http://gt500.drive9.com/~snforums/image.php?u=71051&dateline=1161093373

for instance would be displayed by putting the image tags around it:
(without the spaces after the brackets)

[ img]http://gt500.drive9.com/~snforums/image.php?u=71051&dateline=1161093373[ /img ]

equals

If you go to the advanced screen by clicking on the "Go Advanced" button in your message window, you will see a little icon at the top of the message window that will bring up a dialog box where you can type or paste your image source into. All this does is wrap your source text in the image tags... It's a short cut, if you will.

You need to upload it to a website instead of just your computer.
It needs to be a .jpg or .gif file.

I saw your other thread and its a pic saved to your harddrive. That wont work here.
