we'll always have a picture of the ass (the gal's, not Otis ;-) )

No problem, here you go, Bob - Otis' ass - plus a bonus gal-butt thrown in, no charge.

that is a good one, been on this board for a number of years and this is the first time I've seen it, but it doesn' work for me...

let's see by removing +'s

here is the link:http://www.flickr.com/photos/fine-cars/159778327/

You are using Flicker. The link you posted is not an image link. It's a web page with your picture in it, and a bunch of other stuff.

The following is from the Flicker FAQ:

The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in "Share this." To get to it just go to the main photo page, click "Share this", and then "Get the HTML." We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)

There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.

The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

I am not a Flickr user and I am not sure if Flickr lets you embed pictures hosted on its site. Their quote is not clear to me.

When you paste the image link on the FAQ, you can highlight it and click on the Img box above the text box. It will automatically add the tags to your post and show the picture after you submit. You can click "preview" to see if it worked.

You can post any picture from the internet onto the FAQ by right clicking the picture and seeing the properties. (Works great with RealOEM) Copy the image properties and paste it to the FAQ. Then highlight it and click on Img and voila. The picture appears in your post. You can even use it in your signature if you'd like.

I use PhotoBucket.
