OK is there a set number of posts you have to make before you can post pics? I have tried to post some pics in a post of mine from Photobucket. I copied the HTML link from my photobucket account and pasted it in the post but this is what I get "Error: This is not a valid image file." Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Yep ^^^

Option 3 is for 3rd party sites like Photobucket.

Dont copy the html code, copy the IMG code and paste it directly into your post, dont use the camera or attachment icon. Those are options 1 and 2.

I recommend option 3.

Make sure you're copying the IMAGE code, not the URL.

Just above the window you type in here on the forums, there's a little an Icon that looks like this:

That's the one you're clicking, right?
