    Testing, testing...tap, tap, tap....

    Alright, I have always considered myself tech savvy with a touch of ADD, but how the heck do I post large images on the site? I have my images on my webserver, and I have been trying to link to them.Here is what I have tried:In the thread, I click on the insert image. This gives me two options, 1.) Upload from your computer, or 2.) Link to a URL. I click the "URL" and enter my server's information.... I'll try it now![IMG]www.fagerquist.com/miata/was-5.JPG[/IMG]See! No picture, however, if I just write out the URL location: www.fagerquist.com/miata/was-5.JPG It becomes a link, and by clicking it, you can see it.Now, if I do the same as above and link to a URL, and then select "retrieve remote file" option it comes up as a thumbnail, that once clicked displays larger...like an attachment.What am I doing wrong?-Jim

    Try switching editor modes. I've noticed weirdness like that when not in "source code" mode. (icon in upper left of editor toolbar)

    Sometimes the simple solutions are what elude us the most.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Someone asked me today why these threads get locked.

    It's a signal-to-noise thing. In a help or suggestions forum, it needs to be very high. That, and it helps us keep track of what issues have been resolved.

    Glad we got you going, Wasabi.
