Mr Mods. Can't upload photos as [img].....

Have followed instructions but it just displays the URL- any ideas why?

Cheers

in order for an image to be displayed it has to be a real link not a virtual one and will have to end in one of the extenders typically associated with images ie

.jpg
.bmp
.gif

etc etc ... if it doesn't then it's not a direct link to an image but a virtual url that the web server it comes from can locate ....

I think :)

for instance this

http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-a ... 6067_n.jpg

as an [img] is

Oh, how I hate shit like this!
I’ve tried picasa (Google), I’ve tried my online e-mail (that has an option to store data), I’ve tried my internet supplier, but nothing seems to work!
I know that there’s thirteen in a dozen of websites where you can store your photos on, but most of them erase the data after some time.

And that’s another thing that I hate: when I find an old thread in a forum, concerning exactly the issue that I have myself. But the pics. Are gone! Because OP put the pics somewhere where they got deleted after some time. And without the pics, the thread is pretty much useless!

Suggestions?

all I do is use pictures I've set as publically visible on facebook then copy the link from there
