Here is the easy way to add pictures 'in line' into a post so they are visible without clicking on a 'link'.
OK, quick tutorial regarding inserting images 'in line'.
First click on 'insert image' icon.

The 'enter image url' dialog box appears.

Paste your copied image url in this box.

This is what you see in your post editor after hitting 'ok'.
Note the image tags at the beginning and end of the url.

Excellent!
THANKS!
I think this should be "stuck" in a few places. Maybe we can add a few other points to it, like how to use third-party photo managers.

I'm going to show where to find the links for photobucket and imgbox.
This will not be a tutorial on how to use a 3rd party photo host!
In photobucket make sure that you have 'Direct link' checked in the settings page.

Once you display the photo you wish to post
click in the box with the link, it will change colour to yellow with 'copied' text for a moment. You now have a link to use with the 'Insert Image' button in THL.

Imgbox is a little more complicated as it shows many options at once!
Personally I make sure that 'Full Size' is selected then copy the 'BB-Code'
and paste that directly into my post. No need to use the 'Insert Image' button.
