hint:
you can't embed images which reside only on your local harddrive, internet doesn't work this way (and you should be happy that it is like that).

you have to upload the images to the internet first, for example to an imagefile host like http://www.imagevenue.com

hint:
don't insert the fullsize as image ("URL only"). insert the code for forum usage ("BB Code").

looks like this:

[URL=http://www.imagebam.com/image/07bd11107968449][IMG]http://thumbnails13.imagebam.com/10797/07bd11107968449.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

hint:
width and height are no working options for IMG here. bbcode is not HTML with different brackets.

hint:
if something like this happens, you messed up the code for your images. allways copy and paste the complete code you receive from your image host. if you don't do this, some or single images are missing and/or aren't linked in the way it should be.

hint:
just paste the given code to your post, don't add it with the "Insert Image" option, then you won't have those obsolete code left and right of an image
