you have to be logged into that site to view the thread.

Where you most likely went wrong is not uploading the picture to a pic hosting site first.
You can make a free account on here http://photobucket.com/ and upload the pics, then when uploaded copy and paste the info in the "IMG" box and paste it into the box where you type on here, then when you press submit the pics should show if you have done it correctly.
