Nope.  Still not working.  Does it matter what the image is (jpg, gif, etc.)?

I did it just like Kerry said in the FAQ.  

Any ideas?

Some image hosts wont allow direct linking.  IE you can put a link to a picture on there server but it won't show the picture unless you click the link.  It saves them bandwidth.

I thought tons of people used Photobucket as their host?  Should I use a different host?

I am so pissed.  


Maybe somebody could help me.  Trust me, the quality of my numerous posts will increase if I can do this, and I am in the middle of a re-build and I am sure this would be helpful.

So, what do you guys think?  Pretty sweet huh?

LOL.  Okay, that is an old picture.  I have lubed the chain, put Suzuki sticker on it.  Oh, and the motor is out of it right now.   Getting new rods, pistons, and rings.   :guns:

And that is at my brother's house in New Jersey.  That is his daughter's Pooh thing there.   And his 8 second race car in the back ground.
