2) Insert the url of the image you wish to hotlink between the ] and the [ of the image tags.

Wasn't that easy?

Another method is To use Advanced Reply.

This is better to use if you need to search for an image.

1) Click Advanced Reply button. You will see a field like this:

(You can also use the img tags here instead of using the Insert Image button.)

Search for an image. Google Images is a great source. Maybe you have a favorite website with photos or cartoons, that’s great if they allow Hotlinking.

Paste the copied URL in the by right clicking in the field and select paste from the menu.

Helpful Hints

Neat, and clean huh?

Copying an Image or URL can be as easy as highlighting it and copying using the tool bar or right clicking and selecting copy or copy image location. It depends on your browser. I use FireFox.

How do I post a You Tube Video?

Go to You Tube and click on share. Copy the link and come back to WBW.

Paste the link between the brackets. I hope there�s a You Tube insertion button in the next version of WBW. I�m looking at you Diz.

TK�s keyboard skills suck. I keep a list of these tags on a notepad so I can copy and paste them.

My hope is to get more members involved in all the WBW forums. It makes things more funner when lots of people participate.

We don’t like to see attached images that are copyright protected posted here. Most of the ones you snag off the net are, so don’t do it. Learn to Hotlink, it’s easier done than said.

One more helpful hint. If you are searching for information on transmissions, DO NOT shorten the word to tranny.
That is all for now. Shoot me a PM if you have a question about this thread.
