PICTURES: 1) CLICK on the 4th button on the SECOND row of Icons ABOVE. --It is a small icon that looks like it has a picture, with picture frame, inside of it. When you HOVER your mouse over it, it will say "Insert Image". 2) When that button is clicked on. TWO IMG tags will appear. 3) You must THEN place your DIRECT LINK between those IMG tags. 4) In order to GET a direct link, you must upload your picture using a FREE service such as TinyPic.com: www.tinypic.com5) TinyPic.com will provide you with several options when your photo is uploaded. 6) Pick the one that says "DIRECT LINK for LAYOUTS": 7) Cut and Paste THAT Link in between the IMG tags. 8) "POST MESSAGE" when you are finished with your entire message. 9) Celebrate!........because, if you did all these steps, you should have a succesful photo-posting experience on this message board. AVATARS: well first, you need to go to a site like www.tinypic.com upload your pic...once it's uploaded it will give you coding options...copy the "direct link to image"....come back to samSForce, go to your profile....click on "modify profile"...scroll down to the section about avatars....in the box next to "Avitar URL...paste the link that you copied. scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click "modify profile"..........and.....if all of that went well.....your avatar will be seen by everyone!

You might want to clarify the wording in the first instruction to specify (After starting your new post, thread, or reply, a text editing window will pop up) ...then you will find the <img> button in the second row, 4th icon or whatever, because when I first read this, I was looking for a second row and and there wasn't any (because I hadn't actually started posting anything yet, I was just reading the instructions) I know I am "dense", but, I imagine someone else will probably be wondering the same thing while they are reading and looking for the icon in question... you might also specify that this doesn't work for a "quick reply" ...I am sure you will have first time users that have no idea how to navigate a message board. -Doug - I love a "work in progress" ...always makes me either look really really smart or like I'm just pickin on ya...LOL ... in this case, I was the one feelin like an idiot HAHAHA ALSO, I do have a question about this function.. is it compatible with YOU TUBE type videos that link the player into the post like mySpace? I haven't tested that yet, but, i figured I'd ask before I get really fancy and break something.... crash the board, or make you guys so mad at me I don't get the other two strikes... LOL Don't need the Marines on my doorstep wantin to get even for interruptin the mail... good lawd! (what a scary thought)
