OK, that worked! The trick appears to be to post the pic to Picasa Web Album, click on the pic to enlarge it, right click on the pic to get properties, triple click on the URL, copy it, paste it to a word processor without formatting, and then paste that unformatted URL into the image editor box in rv. net. As easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, . . . . .
I have not used Picasa Web Album or blogspot, so I have no direct knowledge about using them to host pictures for posting on the forum.
I find TinyPic.Com to be the easiest of the host sites for posting pictures here. It requires no registration. Just upload the picture to TinyPic, copy the link, paste it here. Below is a tutorial for using TinyPic. Note: I have two browser windows open, when doing this. One window is the forum's message window and one is for TinyPic.Com
Use Windows' standard open window to find and select the picture on you hard drive and click on the Open button.
Click the Upload Now button
Select the IMG Code URL, second from the top, and paste it into a post or PM. Note: clicking on the URL copies it.
The above assumes that the picture size meets the forum's recommended maximum dimensions.
Maximum width = 640 pixels
Maximum height = 480 pixels
Maximum file size = 100 KB
If the dimensions of the picture are too large, you can have TinyPic.Com resize the picture when you upload it, by using the Resize drop-down menu to select Message Board (640x480).
Or, you can copy the Direct Link for Layouts
Open the Message Windows Image tool, http://www.rv.net/glb/cfb/images/editortoolbar/image.gif, paste the link in the URL field, and enter any value less than or equal to 640 in the width field. Leave the height field blank. Click on Finished.
On edit: You don't have to use the link, the tutorial is one post above your first post. If you don't understand part of it, ask a question. That would help us refine it for others.
