This is the "code" I've been using to post a picture in a thread:

[img*]http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/ro/roadsmith/nameofpicture.jpg[img/*]

Of course, the stars are there just to keep an image from showing in this message.

I'm assuming I need to change "auctionwatch" to "vendio"??

Aside from that, what am I doing wrong? I do have the pictures in an auction I've saved to work on later. Would that make a difference? I could delete the pictures from the saved auction?

Hello,

http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/roadsmith/filename.jpg

This is the correct URL for your images, just swap out the filename.

Christopher

Christopher: Thank you. I did EXACTLY what you said to do, and adding the "img" stuff at beginning and end and it still doesn't work. Could you:

1. See my first posting in Ebay Outlook, titled "Help - need to post a picture" and tell me if I copied wrong?

2. Take a look at my pictures in image hosting and tell me if there's a glitch I'm not aware of?

I'm about to give up--very frustrated right now--and other users are trying to help and it's not working for them, either!

Hello,

I may have grabbed that URL from the wrong location I guess :

http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/ro/roadsmith/Washstandpitcher5.jpg

This would be the correct URL. Just click on any of your images in the image hosting section, then right-click on it, click on 'properties' and it should give you the direct link.




Regards,
Christopher

Christopher: The big problem is that when I right click on the picture, nowhere is the word "properties" for me to click on! There is a drop-down box with all sorts of stuff, like "copy image location," "view info," etc. I don't know how to translate "properties" into what I need.

In desperation, I'm going to try what you used above, which is what I"ve been trying to use, and see if it works now:

Holy cow. All I changed this time was using the capital "W" for Washstand. Could that have made a difference?!!!

Hello,

Yes, the URL for files are case sensitive.
