    Yes it turned blue. I've tried again and this time instead of clicking on the globe I've clicked on a word and I thought I'd cracked it as it came up like yours but when I submitted it the whole thing is showing instead of just a link.

    Hover over my working link in the post above and see the exact url 'hidden' in the hyper-link displayed by your browser and do the same for your non working link and spot the difference.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    How can I make it like yours? (but don't mention urls and hyper-links because I don't know what they are)

    If you want the picture to display in the thread, you do what you have already done in your other thread.

    If you want to create a hyper-link (a word or group of words that displays the picture when you click on it) you simply paste in the path to the picture e.g.

    http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/a...nny/knits1.jpg

    when creating the hyper-link.

    Oh, a hyper-link is what I want!

    I can already put pictures on by clicking on the picture in photobucket and copying it, then pasting it into the message and it comes up straight away as a picture.
    I thought I'd put the hyper-link on this time following the instructions on here and it looked like a hyper-link but when I submitted it, it was just the picture.

    Because what you pasted in was incorrect. You only need the path to the hosted picture when you create your hyper-link - NO Image tags etc.
