Can't post a picture to this board what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I am new to this board and would like to post a picture from my picassa album. (It's public)

I tried many time to use the Img button, but when I do all I get is a broken picture link icon like this...

I feel dumb that I can't make it work, any help would be appreciated.

The link you are posing is a link to a webpage, not a link not an image. The image tags only work for direct image links. Take the image tags off and your link will show up fine.
Example:

http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Ykw2vLuVJgtrNL_zgbKuAA?feat=directlink

Looks like this:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Ykw2vLuVJgtrNL_zgbKuAA?feat=directlink

If you want just a single image then post that image location with the image tags.
Example:

Looks like this:

Hope that helps.

I still don't get a pic.

Do you see a pic in your post?

Is it just me? I tried in Firefox and Chrome and IE

Thank you for helping
