[Bronstinator]

maybe this time

http://C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\My Car Pics\Car1

anyone know what im doing wrong?

To get pics to show up like you want them you have to upload them to the internet first. You can just attach them from you comp by clicking on the Manage Attachments button before you submit a thread. Good luck.

this is what should go in the ...img... bars right???http://C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\My Car Pics\Car1

No, because those pics are still on your comp (and not uploaded on the internet) you have to use the Manage Attachments button. First, hit the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the screen (under the box where you type in your post). Then scroll down and hit "Manage Attachments." Then hit "Browse." Then select your picture, then hit "Upload." Then submit the post.

Does that help explain it better? Let me know. I've attached a pic in the same way.

One thing I found out is that the same pic can't be shown in more than one place.....although, maybe i haven't discovered that fine art yet.

here we go again hehe...

ok well i uploaded the file, and the path should be
"http://C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\My Car Pics\Car" inside of the boxes right???

so why is it still not working... anyone???

[SuperGLS]

Where did you upload the pic too? Looks to me you are still trying to use the IMAGE tags with the pic on your harddrive. Did you try the Manage Attachment things we were talking about?

holy sh*t it worked, thanks super gls

*** does anyone know of a way to compress images because so i don't have to keep resizing them and destorting them??(all the pics i took of my car came to be about 250 kb, and when i resize them they just get destorted and look like crap)*****

No problem... use a program like Photoshop to resize the images. That way you can do it without distorting them. Good luck.
