Upload to photobucket and hit the resize button, photo bucket will also give you the code and url to paste straight onto the forum. its free and ad free.

if you click on the picture then there should be on the right of the new screen an direct URL.
Try posting that one..

Don't think thats the correct url as thats, just click the img code to the left of the pic (or under) and paste it in.

This is the correct one: http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx43 ... ehenge.jpg

Think he was having trouble, once he'd re-sized it on photobucket, the link didn't work & it just gave the link instead of the picture.

The link does work, I copied and pasted from your photo bucket account into the thread, you just didn't do it right.
