I'm going to scream if they don't upgrade this crappy forum software. Do we need a donation drive? I like old things (cars/houses/women) but not old computers/software.

You have to use the html tag instead (Sandra

(A href="URL")mytitle(/A)

The above will insert a link to an image (or page) when you use angle brackets instead of parentheses, replace the URL with your own URL, and replace "mytitle" with your title.

If you want to add a picture directly into your post:
(img src="URL" /)

One of the easiest ways to provide your photo to be embedded into a post is to upload it onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc. That should be pretty straight forward, and the individual sites will give instructions on how to get your photos uploaded to their site when you sign up.

Once your picture has been uploaded, find its web address by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide your image's address in a text box below the photo for your convenience.

Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg

To embed the picture into a post, use the command:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">;
_____________________________________

If your picture is too large to fit nicely into the text page, you can add a width attribute. The command with the width attribute would look something like:
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"; width=600>

Another option, recommended in another post about this same topic and currently being discussed on this same forum page, is to use a text link to reduce download times for slower connections.

To do this, use the command:

a href="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg">your text here/a>

Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image web address, of course).

Oldryder,

I know you've been trying to post pictures for some time now.

It really not hard, it only seems that way. I believe it was Brandon who first showed me. I'll reiterate what Brandon just wrote, and give an example that may help too.

First step - upload your picture to photobucket. I know you already know how to do this.

Second step - Once uploaded to photobucket, click on the picture you want to post. Beside the picture, on the left hand side, there is a box titled, "Share this Image". Notice in that box, there something called "Direct Link". Highlight the text that is the "Direct Link" and right click on it to "copy" it.

As an example, I'll use a picture from my Photobucket account. The direct link for my picture is:

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo164/Olpea/Redhaven.jpg

The link to your picture should look very similar to my link.

Third step - You have to type a command to put your picture in your GardenWeb post.

The command is:

So for my picture above, the command would be:

">

When I follow these instructions, I get this picture in the post:
{{gwi:123895}}

This happens to be a pic of Redhaven, which, for the benefit of some folks on this forum (who live in New York & Maryland) is one of the best peaches known to man.

Olpea,

Looks like the one just to the right of the center of the pic may not be ripe yet.

That's actually a new variety that looks promising. Very firm (if a bit small) unique color, keeps very well. They're a bugger to peel though.
