I can't post images, I clicked on the IMG tab and entered the URL but the image did not appear. I was using imageshack.us should I use a different image host or am I missing something?

Remember, the entire URL must be in between the closed brackets - like this:


This is proper image tag usage. On boards where the images are not displayed, it will still say "image" as above.

I'll get back to you on why it seems possible to post images in some sections and not others. I can't remember if I did that deliberately or not. You should be able to in "Art" and "Trek/Wars" at the least.

I also can't post images.

The url of an example image is:

http://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/who-is-lik ... Type=image

You can try it.

But when I enter this url in an image tag, nothing happens:



Why?

I think it might have something to do with it not having a file extension at the end of the URL, like .gif, or .jpg, or .png so the img tag doesn't recognize it as a real image url.

Nothing has changed, after I have added pro forma a file extension to the URL in the image tag:



although the URL itself is still functioning, even with the file extension

http://fotoalbum.web.de/gast/who-is-lik ... =image.jpg

That's still not a file link; your browser retrieves a file when it hits that URL, but it's not the actual location of a file, which means the BBCode can't figure out how to parse it.
