I can't seem to figure these things out. Any advice would be appreciated.

(from another post asking the same question)
Posting pictures in threads
In order to post an image in a thread it must be hosted online. You cannot post a picture from your computer hard drive.
1) Once your picture is hosted online, copy the url for it.
2) Paste the url in the message text window in the thread you want the picture in.
3) Type [img ] before the url and [ /img] after the url (without the spaces).
- Example [ img]url for your picture[ /img]
I purposely put a space between the bracket and i to prevent it from turning into a hot link! Leave the space out when you type it.
Also..please note that some sites that host pictures won't allow linking to their site. Geocities is one.
If you want to link to a picture or image rather then post it, simply type url between the brackets instead of img.

For editing, once you create your ad, the edit button will be on the row with the other command prompt buttons (Reply, Report, etc).

Your edit button is right next to the "quote" button, just don't delete anything from the ad when you edit it, see EE rule 13.
