Bill, the easiest (and best) way would be to provide a link to the image. For instance, in your attachment above, the URL is <b>http://www.arboristsite.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=200377</b> which can be found (in my browser at least) by right-clicking the link and selecting the "Copy Link Location" menu option; then pasted into the reply. With the default settings of this forum software, just the URL being inserted into the reply text will automatically provide for the formation of an actual link. That was not made into a link because I've opted to not have it be automatically done at this time.
Sometimes you may want to use punctuation right next to the URL. If you, for instance, place a comma after it, the software here doesn't get it right; it engulfs the comma as part of the URL and it will fail as a link. In such cases, you need to manually place the <font face="fixed">
</font> and <font face="fixed"></font> hard up against the front and back, respectively, of the URL. <font face="fixed">
</font>[url]http://www.arboristsite.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=200377<font face="fixed">[/url]</font>, an attached image to a previous post, illustrates my point well, while the negative is illustrated by <font face="fixed">
</font>[url]http://www.arboristsite.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=200377.<font face="fixed">[/url]</font> (that fact that this second link still works even with the period in it merely indicates forgiveness on the part of the server, and it's actually broken behavior -- don't count on it)
The possibly worst thing you can still easily do to include a previously-attached image in your reply would be to immediately surround the URL with <font face="fixed">
</font> tags, thus embedding the image into your reply (since you've already seen it above it should be loaded in your cache, and in any event, it's small, so I'll show you now).
As BJ Squirrel has pointed out in the past, you can "quote" my reply to see how I've actually done it.
