Put a line feed/carriage return (Enter key) before and after the pic to keep the pic and text separated.

Yep. When I was training to be a radio tech in the Sixties, we were sent to the radio telegraphist school to learn to send and receive Morse Code (minimum 15 wpm) and to type (minimum 25 wpm). No pass, no qualification as a tech.

I never did learn to pick the difference between a dot and a dash but the chief instructor took pity and gave me a pass mark.

Please note that this method will NOT work if the URL accessing the image you have hosted yields a URL different to the one the forum is expecting. For example, I use Google Apps Docs to access my lobe of the 'cloud' and even though it is a 'all users access' file, it wont load in this forum as an embedded image becase (I think) the url does not end in JPG or similar.

So, as the big boys in cloud technology (Google, Yahoo etc) usurp the smaller hosters, this may cause problems in the future. I fully reserve the right to be wrong and look foolish - no-one else is allowed to point it out though

LOL, my old man talks the same lingo, apparently carriage return is the nerd term for the end result of pressing enter

Close, but not quite. Useless info follows: Enter gives you a Carriage Return AND and Line Feed (CRLF). CR would just whip you back to the far left of the current line

But a carriage return is a new line isnt it, well until you type stuff after it and it moves to the right of the screen.
