I got as far as introducing a red X box. What is the secret beyond that? Do I have to go to encryption school or something? Man this is one tough business. Congrats to you Jim, on a hard job well done.

Jack

Hey ho Captain Jack,
meet me down at the railroad track

With the model in your hand,
you wil be my singing man..........

Mea Culpa......just had the need to sing along with the weeping of your guitar..

James,
What's the question? How to add an image? People say I'm cryptic.

To add an image to a post you need to add this kind of line:

---

Code:

<img src="http://www.michweb.ch/DC/imagesDC/dc.gif">

 

---

which would produce this:



Questions?

Jim

Coooooooooooool!!!

THanks for the lessons! Your a buddy

Jack the illiterate

practice for jack

hope this works Jack
Arthur

Thanks Arthur. I'l try to give it a run.

Jack Alban go bragh!

Is this correct????? #:-)

Guess not!! What have I got to do to avoid the Red X plague???

Jack be Infected #:-)

Right-clicking your red x properties gave me this URL:

http://www.britishpaintbox.co.uk/image.file

I bet the file name of the pic you tried to display is not "image.file" but instead "badasstank2.jpg" or something like that. You know, replace the image.file with the real name of your file....



Toni

Jack, check all the address, and see if there is some missings letters or more letters, or if you put the whole thing bettween " ", it's important, also to check if the code is writen between tags ...
Try again

Thanks Tony I'll give it a run!



Lets see now then

Sorry CaptainJack, still red x!
I had the same problem when I tried to link Lycos and Webshots gallery pics here at Armorama. Funny thing is that they actually worked for a while...So now I will put a link to the actual galleries or send in stuff via Jim...

Jack be censored...maybe not
#:-)

Toni

Thanks Tony, Thanks Paulo, guess I'll just have to pass life condemmed as a computer nerd!

Jack be miffed #:-)

Can you put a picture into your signature (that always shows at the bottom of your post) using this code?

Nic

OK, Jack. I tried to perform the exercise with your same pic, and here's the result...




As you can see, I get the same results as you do. Maybe the source pic is the reason for our failure here ? I'll try it with another pic :



You see ? it works ! I tried the exact same procedure with a pic I stole from the top of this page. Works perfect.

Maybe it's because your pic is a .jpg and this one is a .gif ? Jim ???

Don't give up, Jack. There may be hope for a bright computer future for you !

ok, Jack,i'll see if i can do it again,i will lift it off my site

Hi,

The problem of the red crosses has two explanations:
- bad URL
or is what's hapenning a lot is that the server where the picture is, do not allow direct links to the pictures LYCOS and MSN are some of them.

Jim has explain that on one other thread about the introduction of pics on the posts.

Arthur really well painted flesh. Nice work.

thanks Jose,.painting that one gave me the colly wobbles........Jack i tried to explain on the
post how i did it but every time type in the code i get stopped by the red lamp,will drop you a note in your PM.
Arthur
