No name on the sign in page, to access it I'll have to find my password, ie ask Mrs B tomorrow. Sorry.

No thats fine Bob.
When I try to check it I am automatically signed in so I cannot tell if it just working on my PC or not.
Will have a bit of fiddle.
Thanks.

An image won't appear unless its enclosed within image brackets [ímg][/img].
Likewise an image won't appear if the URL specified is redirected i.e. converted to point to a real image at the server, basically (there are some exceptions) if the URL doesn't end in an known image suffix .jpg .png .gif etc. this is to prevent hackers redirecting one URL to another site that might contain suspect material.

Thanks all.
What I am trying to achieve is automatically displaying the image in the post rather than the link.
The annoying thing is I have done it once using PB on the Crowd Funding post but cannot replicate.
There is something staring me in the face that I am just not seeing.
I think I will just have to do it with single image links to Google Photo for now.
Hopefully [-o<

Are the image brackets [ímg][/img] applied by BF or do I add them?

You can add them in the Forum by clicking the Icon above in green labelled Img when editing a message, or manually add them, or often the site where the image is stored will provide a cut&paste link that includes the Tags.
