Within a thread or at the guest books, you need a graphics code to post to make what you want to come up. Here is how I do mine. Bear in mind it took me some trial and error to succeed. Bring your patience along if you are anything like me. Bear with me for I am neither 'high tech, nor a teacher'.
1. I went to photobucket.com and opened an account (FREE) under my sceen name here. Folks can see your album up there, (at least one poster told me they viewed my album, but I don't know how to do that to others myself) so I use it only for stuff I post at CMT and don't put any personal or private real life pictures there. With trial and error you can also get the codes without joining up, but I didn't do that. I figured out how to do that at another place without joining up called tinypic.com. I'll give you my directions pretty quick here, but the reason I have the account at photobucket is to save stuff to my album, so that I may go back and re-use things at anytime I need to and if for any reason a pic has been discontinued up there, that will show up in my album right away.
2. OK you are at photobucket and got an account. Search for what you want, sometimes it is 'good morning' or 'hello' or 'coffee' or a whole lots of things, just use their search feature to find what it is you want. When I Click on what I found - a bar will come up and on that bar - I click on the 'Save to My Album'. After it saves, I click on 'Go To My Album'. I click on the pic in my album and a drop down box will come up. I click the little blank box on that drop down - which check marks it and then at the bottom right of the page there will be a blue bar that says 'Generate HTLM' codes or something like that. I click on that and it will take me to the page with the codes. I copy the top code on that page and come over here and paste it where I want it. If you see a graphic you like on one of the pages here, and click on it it will take you where it came from also I'm going to reply to this myself with that TOBY pic and you can try clicking that pic to see if it takes you where it came from or what!. I have no idea if any of this will help you out, but I sure hope so and please remember you may have to trial and error to get 'er done. OK if none of this makes any sense and you even think I can help further, please shoot me back an e-mail. I'll be happy to help you as best that I can.
3. GRAHIC CODES will not work in the "START A THREAD" OR "START A DISCUSSION" and the "Insert Photo" function on the toolbar that come with starting a thread hasn't worked for me for a week or more now, so no point into trying to go into all that.
