The reason your photo didn't display in your first two posts was that you used Photobucket's "HTML" code, which is designed for a webpage and ignored by the forum software. You need to use either the "Direct" or "IMG" code for your photo. Also remember to add the "width=640" to your photo's URL if it exceeds the forum max recommended dimensions of 640pix. This prevents large photos from disrupting the forum's template, generally requiring a MOD to edit the display size if not done so.
Or, you don't have to worry about any of this if you use this web app bit.ly/photo-upload, which was designed specifically for these forums. Just drag-n-drop a photo from your computer, which is uploaded to IMGUR.com, and copy-n-paste the returned forum code directly in your post. It also re-sizes the photo to the max recommended by the forum, so nothing else to modify. About the fastest way to post a photo.
