Ok but how do I put my pic in URL form? It is saved tomy hard drive. It is in the following (and I tried this but doesn't work):
C:\my documents and settings\my documents\my pictures\Yuum's Cleric Guide
So how do I put that into [Invalid image tag] and make it work? thanks a lot.

It's called "upload it to a website and host it from there."

You can't, nor would you want to. You have to put it on the internet somewhere. Check with your ISP how much space on their servers you may be entitled to, and how to upload something there.

You link it from there, not from your hard drive.

Be nice to the n00b, guys, gee.

You'll have to check with your ISP, Rory, and see what they offer in terms of web space. If they have it, they'll also have instructions.

Personally, I use FrontPage, and let the software do all the work.

Your post kinda amplified mine.

You don't need HTML to host. Most uploading is done with an "upload file" button that comes in a browser.

Which ISP do you have, any way?

Pfeh. I'll wager his "sum1" brought it upon himself more than anything.

Tolerance of ignorance about the net is a-okay.

Tolerance of ignorance about spelling is something far worse.

Other people around here CONSTANTLY abbreviate things, constantly.

No, beating around the newb makes them never wanna come back to the forum.

And no, noone around here says "sum1"

But Kagrama, myself, and others constantly use JEFFK spaek and noone ever bats an eyelash. Its like you are just looking for an excuse to be a jackass to a newbie.

There's a deliberate difference between spelling errors because you don't take the time to fix them and purposeful ones used for a comedic reason.

You seem to have gotten "jerk" confused with "right", Fal.

I know you want to do good and defend the po' po' widdle n00bs from us big, bad jerks, but we're dead on here.

See, if you do it on purpose and exaggerate it to such a grand degree that it's funny, nobody bats an eyelash. But if people start doing stuff like that as normal speak, it gets irritating.

I know that such abbreviations get on peoples' nerves, so don't think I'm acting alone here. It has to be projected that such language isn't looked upon favorably.

Now, unless you want to debate that fact, why don't you go find some orphans to rescue from a burning building?

I counted 2 spelling errors, 3 punctuation errors, one missing space, and one omission of the word "of" in Rory's posts.

And excuse the hell out of me for calling someone on their being a jerk to someone. Did I say that his posts were error free and 100% gramatically correct? No. I never once did.

But ya know something? Nobody is perfect. People will make mistakes. They will miss things while editing their posts, and looking them over.

How about, instead of being a jerk, you point out "Some people may not like you abbreviating words, and maybe you should check over your posts a bit more carefully" instead of just thinking that being a jerk is ok.

Oooh! Better idea, why don't you refrain from getting your panties in a wad and going on some huge crusade every time someone takes a jab at the little guy.

On this board, it should be given that you either grow thick skin or a sense of humor. It's not like we were maliciously attacking the guy; we were taking not-so-subtle potshots at him. It's a good way to learn and builds character.

And judging by the way he reacted to it, our friend has a wee bit of a way to go.

And for Pete's sake, people, hazing isn't all that bad. When it gets to the point where it mirror's the Sinfest's boards initiation rites, then it's bad. For now, it's just a little way of poking fun and showing someone the ropes.

So because someone "needs to grow a thick skin" its ok for you to be a jerk. I see, I understand.

Yep. Its ok for people to be total jerks, everyone needs to grow a thick skin.

He asks for help, gets made fun of. Someone new to a forum will think of these people as total jackasses, and not want to come back. I know quite a few people who have left due to others here being jackasses to them.

And I'm sorry, but im a little more sensitive when people make fun of others. I constantly went through that shit during high school. People constantly harassed me, because I was different. Because I was intelligent, unlike them. A thick skin can only get you so far.

It gets you damn far depending on how thick you grow it. If you start bleeding, the sharks will frenzy. They would only tease you if you reacted like that instead of growing teeth and biting back.

And we weren't being malicious jerks as we were poking fun, albeit harshly. It's natural selection on message boards.

I'll grant you it seems to be a tad more malicious than most hazings, but he brought that upon himself with his deliberate misspelling. But, then there's the electric fence theory.

So, either way, if he's still around by now, he's learned something. Builds character.

This argument is over.

Someone asked for help, with 3 spelling errors, and people start razzing on him because he doesn't know how to post a picture. I was the SAME way. My first thread was one just like this. If you don't want to help and just want to take 'potshots' then don't post at all.

If he was a more frequent poster, then we probably wouldn't him/her because they should know and get the sense of sarcasim that many posters have. However, he/she is new, thus, doesn't know his surroundings yet. By taking 'pot shots' at him/her, they some times don't want to come back.

So in conclusion, if you don't want to help, then STFU keke thx bye plz ^_^

Rory, your sig pic is too big. There's a limit of 100pixels in height.

That's why there's that big, obnoxious red line

I'd recommend either shrinking or cropping the heck out of it.
