    Hi

    Some printers do leave a permanent printer icon in th sys tray
    this is especially true of win98, as the spool drivers stay open
    thus letting you know the printer is in a standby mode ready for a print job.

    Sometimes however if there is a job left on the spool
    the print icon will stay in the sys try waiting for a delet command
    from the user, right click the icon and choose, propeties and see if
    a job is paused or waiting to be deleted, click on
    the waiting job if there is one the right click and choose delete.

    aah ok what youve got to do is when doing a post go advanced, and there is an option to insert an image, this is however in tag form, so locate a picture first
    from a web site, easiest way is this, do a image search in google then click on the image, then click on See Full Size Image, its a small blue link at the top of
    the search you just made, now copy the address of that image, ie right click the address bar and choose copy, now do a post in advanced mode, and paste the address in to the image tag space that comes up when you click insert image.

    so it will look like, the address of the image goes here

    Dont forget to preview the post and make sure the image hasnt got any
    stringent copyright with it, just try and use a very "used" image as it
    has less likelyhood of copyright.

    Plus you can upload an image to https://www.photobucket.com and copy the image
    tag and paste it straight into a message.
