What's the deal with posting pictures...they only come up as links!

Wow, I must be an idiot. For example in my coaching thread I tried to post the following pic of jonathan lipnicki, so i went to google images, got the picture, went to the image link (the little picture with the mountains and sun) in the IRC post, pasted in the following: http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/jonathan-lipnicki/jonathan-lipnicki01.jpg

and it comes up as a link, instead of having the picture viewable in the post.

what the hell am i doing wrong? conroy?

It seems like you figured it out. You need img tags around the link, not url tags. Click edit and carefully look at the difference between the one that is a link and the one that is a picture.

also make sure your profile allows you to view pictures. I have mine set to not show images, so they all come up as links for me.

Not as eye-catching if co-workers/boss walks by.
