I can't find instructions anywhere for adding images to posts.. I have tried standard [IMG] tags, as well as html image tags with no success. Any help would be appriciated! thanks

Image posting isn't really based on Tags, because you don't open and close them like you would with "[IMG] [/IMG]". You use it like so: {IMG http://www.link.com/image.jpg} Replace the "{" and "}" with brackets.

I just post the direct link to the image, without any tags and it seems to work. However for some reasons URLs with characters like "~" need to be replaced with %7E as otherwise some blitz forum members don't seem able to see the image/links don't work.

The link to the forum codes can also be found above the post textbox. But, yeah - just paste in the URL of the image as Matty suggested, and the image should appear in the post.
