hmm

try using crosswinds.net (i belive is tha link) tha reason angelfire an tripod images wont show is because they dont allow content
hosted by them to be posted somewhere else. where as crosswinds.net doesnt or last i checked. if that link doesnt work there are plenty others out there.

I don't know everything, just a lot of things.

I have discussed dispalying images in the body of a post before:

As I said in the other thread:
"If you attach a file (with the browse button) it will show up in the post as a link. It will NOT automatically display like a hotlinked image does. That's because displaying attachments as pictures puts a severe strain on the server and slows the entire BB down. Manu has therefore set the BB software to show links to attachments instead."

In order to display an image when the thread is opened, you need to
a) choose (or place) an image that is hotlinkable. (Many sites like geocities, Angelfire, etc block hotlinking.)
b) use the vB IMG tags
c) use the URL of the IMAGE and NOT the HTMLpage that displays it. -- IMG tags only work with urls ending in JPG, GIF, and BMP. URLs ending in HTM, SHTML, HTML, PHP, CGI, etc will all show as the infamous red X
