ok, there's a button that's for pictures. this button:
paste in your picture's URL. you need to get the image hosted elsewhere, like on imageshack.us or photobucket. copy and paste the direct link to the image into the little window that pops up when you hit the picture button.

then it should show up.


you can also use the Attachment thing. hit browse, get a picture off of your computer, and upload it.

When you're replying, open another window or tab and find the pic you want to post in the web. Right click the URL/Address and select "copy" from the drop-downmenu.

Next go back to your original window/tab and put your cursor where youwant the pic to go. Thenlook for the button near the top right that looks like this:
image.gif
and click on it. A small windown will pop up that says Image URL in it. Past the picture URL that you copied before into that fiend and click on OK.

Your picture should pop into your reply!

Good luck!

i think the problem is with my comcast. i can't link directly to a picture in my folder there - it must be a web page. i'll try the photobucket.

thanks for all the input.
