Short note: Please try to keep the dimensions relatively small (around 660 wide), otherwise it just gets annoying to look at.

While I cannot recall having seen any of your posts, I cannot tell you what you are doing wrong, but let's troubleshoot:
You are not using the direct link to the image: You have been using google search, and ended up copying the link from the search, instead of using the actual address for the image.
You are using the wrong link: Again a direct link thing: Make sure your image url starts with only one http://, and ends with either .gif .jpg or .png
You are trying to show an image located on your computer, without uploading it to a host service (people do that): Uploading it to a host service would fix this problem.
You are trying to use the url for the site the image is on, and not the image itself...

I can't come up with any more right now, but try posting an image in this thread, and we will see if there could be anything else wrong.

Thanks for your reply. I was using ImageShack. However I think you've helped me debug it. I've just noticed that ImageShack's page URLs end in ".jpg" which confused me. I think I was linking to a page containing an image and not the image itself.

I'll try again now. If this works I'm fine.

Great. Thanks again for your help.
