Or you could try the image button but none of the buttons work in FireFox and in Opera the popup blocker screws it up. Should work in IE but I don't know if it works with Chrome because I've fallen out of love with Google since they darksided.

From Wiki...
Naming The earliest known publication of the term mouse as a computer pointing device is in Bill English's 1965 publication "Computer-Aided Display Control".[1]
The online Oxford Dictionaries entry for mouse states the plural for the small rodent is mice, while the plural for the small computer connected device is either mice or mouses. However, in the use section of the entry it states that the more common plural is mice, and that the first recorded use of the term in the plural is mice as well (though it cites a 1984 use of mice when there were actually several earlier ones).[2] The term mice was seen in print in "The Computer as a Communication Device", written by J. C. R. Licklider in 1968.
The fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorses both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. Some authors of technical documents may prefer either mouse devices or the more generic pointing devices. The plural mouses treats mouse as a "headless noun".[3]
Despite compelling evidence I'm still sticking to mouses......mice just seems wrong. I did see sign in a shop that showed the acronym for MOUSE but it appears it could be made up, and I got suckered  . No harm done, just don't do it again  . Grum. PS. I did this on my new mobile, my old one didn't work on this forum so that's a step in the right direction.

Standard wireless Microsoft mouse with a " WowPad" mouse pad. The wowpad is well worth the money for smooth and accurate mousing and probably even for miceing.

What in the world is BB code/tag?
I haven't used BB's since I watched that stupid Xmas movie and the kid shoots himself in the eye or whatever. One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen in my whole life.
Anyways, I do not know anything about BB tags.
Thanks for enlightening me,
Bob Bone

You can't do that. The image has to been hosted on a server somewhere. Get an image host account (photobucket, imageshack, flickr, etc... preferred image hosts is another big topic for another thread) then upload the pic to that and swipe the appropriate code to post in forums.
I'm a little surprised with all your IT experience and knowledge of computers (way beyond my own I might add) that you aren't aware of this.
Are you yankin' my chain? If so it's working. ;-)

Sorry - I skipped the whole browse for porn thing - hee hee
I worked on mostly mainframes, and on the PC end of things I mostly wrote little utility programs that did things like allow dynamic control of services through creation and management of Profiles - where I could give my PC the whole Black Viper treatment either on or off with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Never did too much HTML stuff - don't really have a burn to do so, either.
I'm sure that's a lovely banana
