    You have to use the address of the pic, not of the website holding the pic - you can obtain that by right clicking and selecting "Properties" or dragging the pic to the address bar so it loads the pic directly.

    Fixed it for you :)

    And: ME WANTS!!!!
     

  16. thanks, need to get used to this system
     
  17. The "Insert Image" button works exactly the same way on EF :)
    And so do the gallery pages.
