If so, here's a quick run down.
1) the pic needs to already be online somewhere.
2) the URL for the pic must end in a .jpg or .gif.
There may be other file extensions that also work but these two are the most common and will work for sure.
3) when adding the picture simply type [img] then the URL of the picture and [/img] right after it. No extra spaces or anything.
4) it may still not show if the picture site you're using doesn't support linking to its pictures.


This is exactly it. Also, if you don't have access to a place to host pictures*, keep in mind that attaching an image to a post here (check the I want to preview my post and/or attach a file box just above the Continue button when you go to submit your post or reply) means said image is now hosted by 4x4wire.com, meaning you can then view the image you attached (usually shows up as a link near your screen name once you post your reply. View the attachment, copy the URL, edit your post, paste the URL between IMG tags.

Bam.

*EDIT: In addition to free Flickr, Photobucket, Image Shack accounts, you can also start a free blog on Wordpress.com or Tumblr, then upload the pictures there, copy the URL, and paste between IMG tags pretty much anywhere on the web.

Sh*t. You can even upload to Friendface if you're over there and grab the URL by right clicking on the picture, Copy image URL.
