You need to get the address of the image itself, not the address of a page that contains the image and a lot of other stuff. I think if you right click on the picture, there will be an option called 'view image.' That will change the address at the top of the page to just the image. Then you can copy it and put it between the commands in your post here.

Does that make sense?

slightly more specific:

If you're using the Mozilla Firefox web browser (highly recommended):

right-click on the photo, and select "copy image location".
Then type the first
b]  then right-click and paste (or just CTRL-V if you use keyboard shorcuts).  Then type the second [b]
. voila!

so, if you click on this link, you'll see a photo of the RallyBuick™ in action.

So then you right-click on the photo, "copy image location", which is:
Code:
http://sharkpork.com/gallery/d/925-2/480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg

to make that as a visible image on the page, you would type:
Code:
[PLAIN][img]http://sharkpork.com/gallery/d/925-2/480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg[/img][/PLAIN]

that then gives you this:
480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg



If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE8):

A couple extra steps, but the same concept.
right-click on the image on the web page, select properties, highlight the image location, right/click-copy (or ctrl-c), then paste between the tags.

so, if you click on [url=http://sharkpork.com/gallery/v/vehick/rallybuick/480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg.html]this link[/url], you'll see a photo of the RallyBuick™ in action.

So then right-click on the photo, and select "Properties" (at the bottom of the pop-up menu). That should give you a window that looks like this:
[img]http://sharkpork.com/gallery/d/3566-1/IEimageLocation.jpg

Take your mouse and highlight the text that I have selected in black. You can then just type CTRL-C, or right-click and copy. That gives you this code that you can paste:
Code:
http://sharkpork.com/gallery/d/925-2/480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg

to make that as a visible image on the page, you would type:
Code:
[PLAIN][img]http://sharkpork.com/gallery/d/925-2/480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg[/img][/PLAIN]

that then gives you this:
480130722_8d56fd5794_o.jpg


Pretty much the same for both browsers, but Firefox seems to be more efficient at a lot of things, especially if you're on forums a lot. If you're on a Macintosh, well, I'm not going to go through the trouble of another pictorial, since I personally hate them and wish that iTunes had never been made, so they would've died the death they deserved.
