You need to have your image uploaded to a website (for example Photobucket) in order to use the "IMG" tags. You also need to make sure your image fits the requirements for embedding (I believe that the maximum dimensions is 800*600 pixels (800 pixels high; 600 pixels wide)).

Here's how you would insert an image:

HTML Code:
[IMG]http://www.somesite.com/images/imagename.jpg[/IMG]
Note that you can use a GIF or maybe a BMP. Nevertheless, that's the syntax you use.

Let's give an example.

Say I wanted to post a picture that lead here:

HTML Code:
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k283/JupiterStarWarrior/UT%20Sigs/DKJSW-Mes--Dragons-Rule-Sig.jpg
This is what I would do:

HTML Code:
[IMG]http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k283/JupiterStarWarrior/UT%20Sigs/DKJSW-Mes--Dragons-Rule-Sig.jpg[/IMG]
This is what it'll net:



Make sense?

NOTE 1: I was forced to use the HTML tags because had I used the CODE tags, it'd be messed up.

NOTE 2: In case you were wondering, yes I made that sig.
