Each picture has a link that you get by right clicking it somewhere and you click 'copy image URL eg ........ http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=09c1b47ce55ed147230070c2811e4248&width=336&height=253
You high light it & then click on the 'insert image' icon above (ie under the B for bold type. That adds img tabs around the link ie [ img] http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=09c1b47ce55ed147230070c2811e4248&width=336&height=253[ /img ] (extra spaces added to show) which gives

One of the small prices to pay for a totally free size with no embedded ads. Disk space and bandwidth are expensive.
