I keep trying to paste a .jpg into my message, like so many I see, and the damn thing won't even give me a "paste" option. WTF?

puters ain't my bag- help out a poor optics guy....

i find it funny in an ironic sort of way that you icon did not post either.

thanks, chopster,

I didn't think just attaching it would call it up as an embedded piccie, but I'll try.

Razorbak's correct but just make sure the image you refer to is gonna be on that person's server for awhile. Sometimes people wonder why, a few days or weeks after they post, they just get a red "x" where the image used to show up. It's because the other server went away or went down.

One advantage of doing it that way, however, is you can embed a larger than 160k image, the size I restrict you to if you store it on my server (I do that to be nice to the guys with dial-up connections; 160k is still pretty big tho).
