Insert Image (from URL)

[virtuocity]

Never works, despite using URL codes on other forums. I can only put images on here if I upload from my computer.

Every time I try to upload a pic (jpeg) from google images, the forum message states that it's not a valid image file.

Advice please.

Never worked for me either. I tend to upload to photobucket then use the code from there. Means the pictures show in a bigger size as well

UNTICK the box that says "Retrieve remote file and reference locally"

UNTICK the box that says "Retrieve remote file and reference locally"

I discovered that by trial and error a while ago.

Typical IT thing where the action is not only unnecessary (if it won't work unless the box is unticked why is the default setting that the box is ticked?) and the instruction bears no relationship to anything any normal person could understand.
