!!!!!!!!!!! Since I made my other post, the spacespider site has gone to avatars and wallpaper: NO smileys in sight! WAIL--I've never seen that mouth-dropping one anywhere else.

EDIT: I tried right-clicking on my image above, clicked on Open link in that menu, and was taken to a new site--which did have this one. (Whew.) Now to try your advice:
[img][/img]
[img][/img]
[url=[url=http://www.freesmileys.org][img]

Nope; I tried it the normal* way, and your way. Still have the box. :-(
*That is, the way I normally do it!

don' know where you found that, but.



oh, this one?



edit: I followed my instructions.
two steps:
1) right click on image, copy image location (from menu)
2) enter image ("Enter an image")

These ones are the craziests, most funny ones I've seen.
+ There is some beauty in this madness.
And Jackie's mishap is graphically also very beautiful.

I can't "copy image location": that's not an option I'm given. I can only "copy". There is an option to "copy shortcut" but it's not clickable. Trying again, this time using URL instead of Forum Code:
[img]http://www.freesmileys.org[/img]

Well, that didn't work. Back to Forum Code, this time using the link button and not the image insert button:
[url=][/url]

Nope--still the box. Guess it's time to give up.

ah, you're using IE, I'm using firefox..
I did this one from IE by copying just the 'img' part of the address from freesmileys, leaving off the surrounding [url][/url].

that is, it looks like this in the source code and just the part in quotes gets pasted into the 'Enter an image' box:
<img src="http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/shocked016.gif">

you can edit out the extraneous url/img stuff once you've pasted the whole thing into said box.

edit: just one of the advantages of firefox.

another option: hand-code it like this, leaving out the spaces

Hey, it worked!!

tsuwm:

Gee--can we say now that this has been the most "shocking" thread ever? I shall copy and save your instructions above, since I know I won't use this often enough to remember them. (And, I might add for all and sundry, this is also a shocking thread in that normally I dislike icons that move--I find them too distracting. But I just love that dropping-mouth one!)

Hurray!You did it! As Michelangelo said yesterday: Genius is eternal patience. For the both of you.
But I still like your twin failure 'jack in the box' almost better than the perfect end product.

(Like my mother's half succeeded chocolate cakes always tasted better than the high and mighty risen prize cake)
