Your link doesn’t work, probably because it only has the name of the file, and not the name of the server and/or directory that it’s in.

Thank you, Giles.

I tried to do that in a reply to my post, but it didn’t come up in the preview.

What would the HTML tags look like?

ETA: Oh, wait, pictures are disabled, I’ll have to go through photobucket.

Yes.

(1) You can only give links to pictures here. The SDMB won’t display or store pictures.

(2) So, if it’s your picture, you need to upload it to a photo-sharing site like Photobucket or Flickr.
