I have been trying to post a picture on the Telecaster Discussion Page using Photobucket...no luck.I highlighted the img and copied it,and then pasted it into the posting window...all I get is the address and no picture...am I doing something wrong?

You need to upload the image to a server, then write the address in your post.
If you don't have a website, or access to a server that can host your image, there are many websites who offers this service for free.
Check this site for free image hosting: http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-image-hosting.php

PS - if you are trying to post an image that's already hosted on a server, then you need to write the address like this in your post:
(img)imageaddress(/img) - just replace the ( ) with [ ]

Looks like you got it, Steve but......how come they get to look at you & Roy & George and not us?!?! (Who's on steel, BTW?)

If you click on the edit button above this post you will see the code that enables you to click

RIGHT HERE ON THESE VERY WORDS

to go to the thread where you did indeed post that cool photo.

Steve, to make a clickable link you write:

(url=address to wherever you want to send 'the clicker')click here(/url)

Again, use [ ] instead of ( )
