if you see this reply ... here's why you get the Red X box :
You are copying the Email & IM link (first link under your picture, in Photobucket)
What you want to use, is the IMG link (bottom link under your picture) ... this will give you the image code/address ... and when you put it into your message, here on Crappie.com, the picture will appear when you post your message. Type in your message ... hit the Enter button once or twice ... then right click and paste the IMG link ... hit the Enter button once or twice again, if you have more words to add or more pictures to add.
The last two address links, under your Photobucket pictures, are the only ones you can use here. The IMG (4th/bottom one) link will post a picture .... the URL (3rd one down) will post a highlighted link, and when you click on that, it will open another window and the picture will be in there.
Anything you don't understand, in my directions, just PM me and I'll explain in more detail.
