    There seems to still be some confusion on how to link images from the Forum.
    Sorry that it is such a confusing process - I think it is a bit easier now that we have a toolbar.

    1) Post the image somewhere on the web -
    You can post to your Aminus3 page
    You can post to Flickr, PhotoBucket or any other photo posting site online

    2) Copy the address of the JPG (using CTRL-C, Edit->Copy etc) - note you can usually right click an image and click (Copy Link Location) which will also work
    For example
    http://aminus3.s3.amazonaws.com/image/g0001/u00000002/i00636468/77a95317600ab0533b728da01ad90058_large.jpg

    Note that the last thing you see is .jpg
    That tells you you are linking to the actual JPG image

    3) Create an Aminus3 Forum post and type your text

    4) Where you want to put an image, click on the button in the toolbar (above the forum entry text)
    It looks like a blue rectangle with a white outline and is next to the blue "A" button
    If you hover your mouse over it, it should say Insert Image

    5) When you click the button, it will pop-up an entry box to paste in the link to the JPG
    Hit CTRL-V on your keyboard or Edit->Paste to paste in the address (you copied in step 2)

    It should add the address to your forum post wrapped in img bbCode tags.

    6) Repeat for as many images as you want to post and submit the Forum post to view

    Make sure the radio box Format comment as is set to BBCode or else your image will not be linked in

    I know a bunch of people have some good ideas and techniques to share so hopefully you can write some of these up and link in your images for illustration.

    thanks,
    Jason
