to see if I can get an image to embed here:

crap. “F”. damn. I give up.

This what you wanted? I can't read German

Yes! How did you do that?

Right click on the image, and click on properties, then cut and paste the url from properties in the [img] brackets

I'm using a Mac and I don't get a "properties" option when I right click...

Ok figured it out....whew!

Many thanks Gaz!!

He used the URL of the image and not of the site, Blixa. The URL you used in your first attempt was to the site that the image was hosted on. Gaz used the URL of the image itself, which is a no-no as hotlinking is considered bandwidth theft, and some sites play merry hell on people that hotlink images directly from their site.

What you want to do is tag it [img]URL.gif/.jpg/.png/whatever%20image%20format[/img] remove the spaces and bingo.

Example: Using the above image tags, and an image from my Photobucket account.



Here is what the tags and image URL looks like, remove the spaces and you get the following...




Also, instead of hotlinking the image direct from the site, get yourself an imagehosting account, rightclick on the image you want, choose "save as", then post it on your image hosting site, then use the URL from your image hosting site. I use Photobucket for general image/video hosting, it's free, has some decient tools, and it's got a pretty massive hosting and bandwidth alotment for the free accounts, and unlimited hosting bandwidth/storage for paid accounts.
