Yes no problem i got rid of that now and all ihave to do is go to that site you mentioned for which i just registered to take care of the rest.
Much thanks Terje. This education will come in handy for the future.
Khaelo. If i could just trouble you one more time, this is an edit to ask you something. I have made a little progress. I am preparing a very large and detailed post in which i am using a lot of charts.
Imageshack is going to be hosting these pics and so far i am only able to figure out the direct linking option which i am finding slightly less than satisfactory because i do not have clickable thumbnails and people will have to do the cut and paste thing to look at every chart. If my thumbnails can be made clickable then no problem.
The other thing is that although i have the option to generate BB code for clickable thumbnails specifically for forums they dont seem to work and they are about 2 or 3 lines long which is something i have never seen anywhere in these forums. If i am supposed to do anything other than just copy and paste these links to my thread then i am at a loss.
Please can you or anyone reading this thread help out here.

We can't do clickable graphics with our BB code. The best we've got are clickable smilies (like this guy:  ) and that's not what you have in mind. If you try to stack IMG and URL tags, a mess results. So, thumbnails aren't an option.
As an alternative to direct linking, could you provide a hyperlink? Since your chart is online anyway, you can do that. Although people would still need to go back and forth, it would eliminate copy/paste. Here are the codes. Replace {} with [].
{url}www.HeroesofMightandMagic.com{/url} becomes HeroesofMightandMagic.com.
{url=http://www.HeroesofMightandMagic.com}Age of Heroes{/url} becomes Age of Heroes.
The only caveat is that if you put an apostrophe in clickable text, the whole thing breaks.
[url=http://www.HeroesofMightandMagic.com]Heroes' Age[/url]
Does that help?

Just use the URL tags to make a link; I guess that'd be enough...

Ok i just tried inserting the url tags, but only had patial success. The link became clickable but instead of going to my image it just took me to the Imageshack homepage lol.

You should probably use the "Direct link to image"...

Chart
Edit: Those are working for me. Do they take other people to the chart rather than the ImageShack homepage? If they're functional, Dodd, you can just hit "Quote Reply" on this post and copy/paste the codes directly.

Thats great Khaelo. All i have to do now is apply the same principle to the other 12 charts and i am done.
I just tried it out on a second chart and it works fine.
many thanks.
Finally how did you learn all this stuff? I would like to become less dependent for future threads in which i want to do this kind of stuff and more.
To Terje. Give me an hour or so from now and they will all be done.

I learned this from the FAQ.  Seriously, I'd gotten the hang of code from another board which used HTML. It just takes some practice to get into it, and some testing to see what works and what doesn't. There's a Picture Posting Practice thread in the Tavern -- that's a good place to try things out and mess up a bit.
