I think what Vain wants is for us to upload the pic to this site if we want to use it as in image in our posts. As it is, when you use the [ img ] thing, it uses the bandwidth of the host site you give. I doubt he'd have a problem with emoticons and such that are on your own site, since it's your own bandwidth you're using.
(and considering I've never seen a board admin so concerned about other people's bandwidth, this just again proves that Vain's da man... humanitarian like)
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Okay, I uploaded a pic of an AIDS awareness ribbon that I wanted to put in a post. But, I have no idea how to get it in the post..hehe..I'm not very computer savvy. Can someone tell me how to do this?
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.
Right click on the image you want to put in the post. Select properties. Highlight the web addy of the pic (unless you already know the addy, then, of course, all that's unnecessary).
Then in your post where you want the pic type (without spaces) [ i m g ] whateveraddythepicisathere [ / i m g ]
