I am having a problem with not being able to post pics. I am not new to posting pics in forums and have never had this problem before on any other forum. No matter how I go about posting a pic, it never shows a photo ... just a URL. It does show a pic when I hit 'preview', but once I hit submit it only shows a URL.

I have copy/pasted IMG info from PhotoBucket and it only creates a link.

I have tried using both editors, copy/paste URL into the appropriate box, click ok and it only creates a link not an image. I am using the image icon too, not the link icon.

I have even tried uisng [img] bbcode tag to post pics. Nothing works.

Do new users on this forum have to have a certain number of posts before they can post pics?

Are you sure all of the characters are being pasted?
Miss one "[" or "]" and it wont work.
Maybe try imgur or tinypic.
Neither require sign up.
Use the img code

I am absolutely positive I have been doing it right.

I am absolutely positive I'm doing it right. Right now I am using the basic editor.

You see that little eagle icon below your name? This is the URL for that image: http://www.ar15.com/images/2008skins/icons/iconNRA.png
I copied the URL for it. I then clicked this little image icon and pasted the URL into the box. I click 'OK' and this is what I get:

It works fine as long as I use a forum icon or something like that. Any other pic URL doesn't work.

It's because you are a newbie. There are new rules about new members posting pics.

They are there and will show up soon.

Ok I understand what the problem is now. I just received a message from a moderator. Evidently there has been some problems with new accounts posting some nasty stuff on the forum. They enacted a 50 post minimum before you can post a pic.

Evidently, as I've shown above, the pics that originate within this site can be posted, but evidently not pics that originate outside of the forum.
