I have a VERY limited grasp of the very basic concept of html.
What I aam trying to do is place a picture from Photobucket in the top center of a forum post. I can get the picture to disp[lay in the center of the page but all of the "code" for the link and <center> are visible. I know of a command "echo off", but I do not know if it will work in this instance or how to use it.
Can I achieve my goal? If so how?
BTW I can't spell either
TIA
Dave

Dave,
I am not sure what you want to do, and where to do it.
Are you trying to do something on your web site?
Are you trying to do something here in the forums?
If you are trying to put an image on your website, what program are you using to do that? That knowledge will determine what instructions are needed.
If you are trying to put an image here in the forum, look to the right of the box where you are writing the message, and you will see some shortcuts, and one is "Image" that you just click. When you click the image link, two tags will be placed in the message. Just enter the URL for the image between the two tags and the image should display when you post the message.
Also, if you are trying to do something with a website, please provide a link to the page where you are having the problem.

HI
The forum I am trying to post in is http://www.abithelp.com/
The Photo is located at Photobucket.
I can make the photo show in the forum post. It shows on the left side of the post. I want to center it. The following is the image:

Click the image to enlarge. It s a 72 pin SIMM. this one is EDO. I need the plain vanilla ones.

If using html, you only have to put <div align="center">image code</div> The forum you are using may not support this. Even this forum is set up to default everything to the left, and many forums use BBcode for tags and not html.
You should ask a forum moderator from abithelp dot com. They might know if their forum code supports that.

Dave,
You are trying to post on a forum that is a phpBB forum. This forum uses a custome program written by the CoffeeCup programmers. I would think you would be able to get specific help on the abithelp forum.
When you are on the abithelp forum, look on the top right of your screen, and you will see a FAQ link. On the FAQ page, you can scroll down until you see this entry:
and just a little below that is this
That should point you toward the instructions you need to use that forum.
Hope this helps.

What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML, offering great formatting control on particular objects in a post. The use of BBCode is granted by the administrator, but it can also be disabled on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, but tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and >. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.

Can I post images?
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag.
