I didn't notice that.....thanks!
On the Photobucket account there are three tags under the pic. There's the URL (looks like http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/GrammarPolicebadgesmall.jpg ), the TAG (looks like <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/GrammarPolicebadgesmall.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> ), and the IMG (look like [ IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/GrammarPolicebadgesmall.jpg[ /IMG] and comes out like ). I just copy and paste the IMG tag and it works. I don't type anything manually at all. Just copy/paste, that's it. As to the other issues on the forum, I don't know.

I've also tried pasting the url between the img brackets and that doesn't work for me either. The forum still changes the coding to img src, etc. As usual, what you see here is nothing like I intended and nothing like the PREVIEW shows. The preview comes up correctly, so why doesn't the post?

Hi guys,
Check out this sticky thread that I just posted concerning posting photos. Let me know if that doesn't help.

Did you try typing the [img*] and [/img*] first (without the asterisks), then pasting just the URL in between? The "pure" url starts with http and ends with jpg, gif, or whatever. Don't paste anything else in between the bracketed img tags.

The problem is a software conflict between this forum's software and the Safari browser, as I already indicated earlier in this thread. For further information about the conflict and its cause, see Joe Fugate's post in a similar thread to this one.
OK, I misunderstood your post. I thought you were trying to figure out how to post photos. I posted your photo from an old safari browser to show that it works if one pastes the URL between the previously manually-typed image brackets. If you only wanted to register a "me-too" complaint about browser interactions, I missed that point.
By the way, I have found that cutting-and-pasting text from MS Word document sometimes brings along some unwanted tags, it doesn't always paste as plain text. I've found it works better to use the simplest text editor you have. Or, most easily, just copy the URL only from the properties box or browser "address" line and paste it in between the already-typed img tags in brackets as I mentioned earlier.
