I give up, need help putting an image in my posts here....

I keep getting that my URL contains illegal code:

1. I just tried to post your image..

And got the same thing; not sure what's up..

[Crunchy Frog]

2. There are some images that simply won't post,

because of some piece of code in them. That's what's going on with the particular image you're trying to post. I'm computer illiterate, so I don't know any more about it than that.

If you have a photobucket or some other host site, you put the picture on it and then link from there and it should work.

3. That's what I am doing. This image is at ImageShack, which is

one of the preferred hosting sites.

11. Please note that, for some reason, images hosted

at ImageShack, will not show when they are posted on DU. You have to use some other host like Photobucket.

I took the liberty of stealing your image and putting it on my Photobucket account. I am now posting it here.

14. isn't that the WinXP default background?

anyway, I'd say if you really want that image, save a copy of it and upload it to photobucket or similar site.
