Took me a while to figure out how to quote someone...
That wouldn't work. The path usually displayed refers to a file in a directory on the home computer. Unless you use your IP address, which I'm sure there are certain people who'd love to see it, no one would be able to see that picture except you (they'd all get little red X's). Also, even if you did use your IP address, they wouldn't be able to see the picture if your computer is turned off. It would work for generic stuff, like windows Icons and the like, because those are the same on most computers (at least if they run on NT-based stuff), however unless the thing you're posting is one of the standard windows or macintosh things that can be found in the same directory on every computer, that "copy the URL after opening in browser" method won't work...
You can, however, load the image onto a remote server that allows direct linking and link it with the [img]http://website.com/url/picname.jpg[/img] tags...
Whoa! I just found it. After you make your post hit the "edit" button. Then, in the additional options, there's a part for "Attach files." Hit the "Manage Attachments" button and you're set. But Jordan has stated that because he is still working on the attachment database thing (see next post) that we shouldn't attach files to this server.

Thanks for the reply Jordan......I can understand that a new system can always have teething problems......I'l wait to attach images until you can get it sorted out. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going blind!
p.s. GTP 6 looks amazing......great work!

Did you upload them after GTP6 went online? If so, yes I'm afraid you'll have to upload them again. I thought I had attachments disabled but I didn't realise there was a way around it people were using...sorry.live4speed
