When posting layouts in the forum, you should always also include a link to the gallery page so people can go there and comment on the layout.

Find the layout display page in the gallery - this is the page where you can post comments on the layout.

Right-Click on the layout image itself, and scroll down the list that appears to the properties link at the bottom of the list.

In the properties box that comes up will be an address or url of the image. Run your mouse over the url of the image to highlight it and copy it (control – c) )This url will have a jpg ending and we will call it the jpg address.

Go to the forum post where you want to display the layout and paste the jpg address into the message where you want the image to appear.

Highlight the jpg address you have just pasted into the message and then click the img button from the format options displayed above the message panel. Image tags will appear before and after the url.

Highlight the jpg address again along with the img tags, then click the URL button. URL tags will appear before and after what you have highlighted.

Point your mouse to the first url tag and click right after the letter "L" and before the closing bracket. Type in the equals sign and then paste the link to the display page for the layout in the gallery. (It is the link in your browser window you see when commenting on the layout.)

the first url tag should look like this:
[url=the link here]

So your whole link should end up looking like this:
[url=link for layout display page][img]jpg%20address%20of%20the%20actual%20image[/img][/url]

Oh this is very helpful - THANK YOU !!!!

Thanks for that information - it will come in handy posting my layouts in your gallery
