Hey! For one thing, text posts on proboards don't use html codes. They instead use [square] brackets, with a bit different rules.

I believe what you want are the [ img ] brackets.

For an example, let's say you upload a picture to a hosting site (such as imgur or tinypic). This picture perhaps.

You want to copy the direct link (the url) of that picture, and then use it like this:

[ img ]http://i.imgur.com/p4t1D.jpg[ /img ]

After you remove the spaces between the brackets, it will look like this:



I hope that helps! It should work the same for your text posts as well as your signature.

Whoo! Thanks so much!
I'll have to remember that [] are used instead of <>.
Thank you for pointing that out.

As for the link, you should re-host. Hotlinking is not allowed on this site, so hosting it to imgur or tinypic will work. If you'd also like the credit to look a little bit better, try using [ link ] brackets. How it works is you type [ link = http://thisisanexample . com ]Credit to Soandso[ / link ], just without the spaces.

I hope that helps!
