I know how to get a video from youtube now, but when I try to put a picture in a message, there's a little red x there and it won't let me see the picture, please can someone explain in detail how to do it. Thanks.

okay, you need to have the adress of where the picture is and the picture must be by its self...like this: http://imagecache2.allposters.com/image ... osters.jpg

you then put these: [img]at%20the%20front%20of%20the%20adress%20and[/img] at the end of your address.

what address are you using for your picture?

This is your avatar, with BBCode disabled:

I right-clicked on your avatar and selected properties to get the image address. You can't post some images directly. I don't know why. Sometimes you have to save it to your machine, then host it someplace like www.imageshack.us.
