Hey jxe, thanks for the reply. I can tell the difference. I have been a programmer for over 25 years and literally have built forums from scratch 15-20 years ago. Point is, it could be a lot easier if they hosted the images (pictures of their products after all) and besides that, if I put up a link that is a direct path to a .jpg, it should not matter where it is coming from, it should just show (last time I checked, you could not embed any viruses or malware in a jpg file so where's the danger?). Anyway, I am going to post an instructional thread here on some things to watch out for when posting pictures on THIS forum (many other forums, including ones I have built, do NOT have this problem) for us noobs who just don't get it!
Cheers~
