Linked PictureTest, and Fail



I'm trying to link a picture by using the "insert image" button and copy/pasting the HTTP address where prompted. It only brings up the red 'X' box.

When I copy/paste the URL into a new browser it takes me to the image. What am I doing wrong?

Thought this would be a nice addition to the Motivations thread.

URL is:

Thanks,

Chick looks deformed.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.

TO answer your question, some sites don't like their pictures being directly linked to (called hotlinking)... Upload the picture to an image hosting site, then try again.

Could you recommend an image hosting site that's compatible with SOCNET? I'm not familiar with any.

Just download it to your computer and then upload it through the attachment box. BUT don't upload any of that crap posted above or you will hear choppers incoming.
