And I feel foolish for asking, bu how can I put a .gif or something into a post???
you can put a .gif, or .jpg into a post by using the img tag
(img src=“www.theURLtoYourPicture.com” height=40 width=40)
or a .SWF by using the embed tag
(embed src=“www.theURLtoYourPicture.com” height=90 width=90)(/embed)
just change the ( and ) to < and > and make sure that you upload the image onto your server.
or
yeah, uhm that didn’t work. 
I didn’t put the HT.TP because I didn’t want it to convert the dam think into an link…i was assuming that they would know…
Well, at least one of those worked, eh guys? 
oops… no I was using ezcode method which will do the image no matter what you put between it… I forgot.
{image}yourImageUrlHere{/image}
but using the square brackets instead of the curly ones.
