I loaded my photos on the photo gallery, I right click on the pic and click on properties, hilite the URL addy, and hit the OK at the bottom of the window. I go to post a new message here, click on the URL box and paste in the addy I hi lited....and nada...not a damn thing! I can post the pic by using a link, but I shouldn't have to do that!?!?!?!
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Bill

The photos are not working because you are trying to link the entire page that your photo is shown on in the gallery. In other words you just selected the wrong URL to use.
These are the URL's you were trying to embedd into your message:
http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/index.pl?photo=101795
http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/index.pl?photo=101795&size=big
This is what you should have used:
http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/data/39997001-med.JPG
http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/data/39997001.JPG
A suggestion when using photos from the photo gallery...
If you are only wanting to include a single picture in your post, then don't worry about the url's for it (there is a way of posting multiple pics in one message if you know the right codes). When composing a message, the shaded area at the bottom where you would normally enter the url for a link or image...go below that to the 'select image from gallery' section... if you remember the file name of the photo when you originally uploaded it you can scroll through the file list of all your photos in the gallery and select the one you want to post. I find it best to rename my photo files on my harddrive with easy names to remember prior to uploading them to the gallery as it makes it much easier to find what I want to post on the forum later. Looking for something like cornsnake02 is much easier than something like dsc-000345
