You need to host the photo on line - photobucket or something similar and then get the url for it.

You're not doin' it right. Click on the image in FB (you'll see two arrows on both sides), right-click on the image, click on "copy image URL address" then paste it here.

Edit:

Open the image like this:

Then do what I already told you.

Then you have to right click on it and hit "copy image location."  Then come back and paste it into the IMG tags from the tool bar above.

RE: trying to share a picture . . .
I don't even try to post pics here anymore.

And sadly, very very sadly, some of the other message boards I'm on (tech and sciency stuff) that utilize image hosting sites after even just a few months start losing pictures. Old reference threads (more important on tech sites than here) are almost devoid of images now as image hosting sites go away or members delete their accounts. It is really a tragic loss on some of those boards. (there's one tech site out there I visit that does pics the 'old fashioned' way, and it is fantastic they have never changed that feature, they have everything still that was ever posted since day one)
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

With images being so hi-res nowadays, an image that used to be a couple of KB is now a couple of MB. The server space needed for this site to host all the pics we have on the threads here would be ridick.

I do agree that technical sites with walkthroughs are absolutely critical to maintain, but that isn't this site.

Using a hosting site isn't really that hard. I like Flickr. When you use the share function, it has an option for bbCode. You don't even have to type the img tags.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
