all my pics come up as links

press the "img" button instead of the "link" button. pressing the "quote" button would be incorrect as would any selection of the "B", "I" and equally incorrect "U". inadvertently choosing a smiley face, much less one listed under the "More Emoticons" link, would be considered a drastic miscue and will thereby result in you being stripped of all posting rights and privileges currently allotted to you.
