picture linking URL's in the posting threads can drive you to drink!
I've posted and inserted and embedded and tried all sorts of different websites and properties and combinations and still..there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for when the pictures actually become embedded so all of us can see them versus...having to access them with the right clicking!
(how's that for a run-on sentence/question?)

One time I was accidentally going back and forth with the "back" button and I actually was able to view a picture as embedded which now I can only access with the right button in my own post!

I'm not a techie or a techie novice but rather somewhere in between! This inconsistency makes no sense.

I'm going off to drink a few beers!!

Happy Holidays!
