Am trying to send a pm to someone for a monthly competition with an attached photo but I cant figure out how to do it. I see a thing in message body that says image but when I click it it just gives me this [/img] [img] ?

Plz help thans.

This is prolly a nuts and bolts question, but anyways....

Say i have an image. Let's say its http://who-is-awesome.com/who-is-awesome.jpg

Well, I click the image button, giving me this - (img) Click it again and I get this (/img)

What you do is click the imagine button once, paste the link, then press the image button again. So it loos like (img)www.blahblah.com/whatevs.jpg(/img)

do that and you get this

Yeah, the same principle applies to PMs. These simple codes are usually referred to as "BBC Code". After a while, you'll just type them, and it comes naturally. Except for hyperlinks, which to this day still confuse me

It's 2012 and there are still people who don't know BBCode. Yeesh.
