I want to show off some cool stuff! I guess I have to link to it and not have it show up in the thread right?

if it is hosted on a web site, all you need to do is

1) go to the site and get the address of the pic,
---a) if you don't know it, right click the pic and then click on properties and then coppy and paste it
---b) for instance the remote central logo at the top is

2) in your post type < followed by img src=" then the address and end with ">
---a) like < img src="http://www.remotecentral.com/m-left.gif">

3) to make sure everything worked try preview

4) post the reply

and it will look something like

if they are you own pictures, you can have a site host them for you... I usualy use [Link: imagemonster.org] but there are lots of site out there.... Usually got to keep the files under a meg, and they provide you a link to enter into your posts.

Why does mine look like this?

< img src="http://www.remotecentral.com/m-left.gif">

I cut and pasted your example.

Loose the space between the "<" and the "img"

Right. Anthony added that space, disabling the HTML, so the code would appear, rather than simply render the image. Do a search for "html tags" or "html glossary" to learn a bit more. There are sets of "rules" that must be followed to make HTML, et al, function properly, such as when to use quotes, spaces, etc.

The best way to learn code is to use your "page source" option under the "view" dropdown on your toolbar. Do this on a website that you're familiar with; one that is mostly text is a good start, but don't use a graphic- and script-rich site like this one. Look for a site that is mostly text of different colors and fonts.

I learned by comparing the source code for an HTML glossary document to that same document. Basically, everything that doesn't appear on the webpage is the code that controls the appearance of what does appear. My system page, below, is a good page to compare the code to the page; it's simple, raw code.

This rocks...

Oh, for anyone following the other thread...

This is the jacket stripper I use with ProFlex inwall speaker wire.

Oh. I thought it was a fancy butane cigarette lighter.

I don't smoke, but if I carried a lighter, I would pretend that I am a self important Eurotrash aristocrat and carry this beast.

I actually have an old Zippo, but it isn't nearly as cool as that thing....

I think I would need a class to operate it, I wonder if there is a certification??

Here is one of the cabinets I built. Notice the custom made center channel speaker.

The woodworking is impressive.

Do you have access to the back of the electronics with that configuration??

Well, since it is single shelf with no divider, you can turn the components in place so you can see the backs very easily.

Center speaker is 2 Morel MW142s' and a MDT 30se tweeter.

also if you see something you like on someone else's post like

how to centre
bold
italics
fonts that was fonts by the way in symbol
different sizes
colours
fancy links


all you need to do is click on edit post and you will see what is actually there. (obviously you cannot save the edits if it is not your post) but that is how I learnt most of the stuff.
