For those posting pics there is an easy shortcut to getting the code correct with IE which does not have a copy image address option.
Just go to the website with the picture, say the BWY site in this case, right click on the picture you want to include and pick properties. Drag to highlight the Address (url) property, then press <Ctrl><C> to copy the selection. Watch out for really long addresses. The property dialog only displays 2 lines and sometimes the address is longer. Drag from the start down past the bottom so the field will scroll and you get everything including the usual .jpg file extension.
Now you have exactly what you need without any editing required.
Go back to the post reply box in the discussion and on a new line press <Ctrl><V> to paste.
The final step is to select the pasted URL in the post by dragging to highlight it and then click on the IMG button up near the top of the post reply dialog box. This will add the Img tags around the url address.
This whole process will let you include pictures in your post in seconds without any editing required.
