I am having the same problem. Yesterday I tried pinging graphics for V-Day but I just couldn't. Maybe it's a glitch from the last update.

I went so far as to look up the img src tag, get the syntax for both local and off-site sources, copy an example and paste it. I got... paste.

Couldn't get the sucker in a comment either. What is happening to us all? Gather, or early-onset dementia?

I don't know how to do it either.

Thanks. At least it's not just me then. I guess we'll all be forgetful together then... take that HTML/CSS/NSA consortium!

Update: I just looked at the code posted by Kevin (''SiteWizard'') V. that was offered up by Gather for Valentine's Day. They used the IMG SCR tag, so either I'm doing something wrong or, possibly, only GIF's are supported?

Something has changed in the way these comment boxes interpret HTML!

I'm going to go play in your ping box for a minute.

Okay -- with "img src" you know you have to use some text in addition to the "img src" command. Well now the "a href" is like that, too. You need a separate line outside the bracket-enclosed area.

My work here is done.

Thanks Tracy. I guess that's the key, because it worked!

Mark,

Gather does require some text to accompany the image...even just a single period (.) or blank space.

I'm glad that you have it all sorted out!
