I'm running my site locally on xammp. I tried to post an image using html/image/source tags and it wouldn't appear. Can this be done with Vanilla2?

Are you trying to upload an image through some sort of plugin or do you have an image already located on a webserver somewhere and accessible via URL?

I couldn't find a plugin for that. The site is only on my computer, running on xampp. I tried to use html code to load a jpeg from a folder on my desktop and it wouldn't work. Are there image plugins for vanilla2 ?

I guess I'm not getting the address right. I dragged it into my browser and pasted that address in. Like this:
<*img src="http://C:/Documents and Settings/Mark McKenna/Desktop/webite images 6.31.2010/skyline.jpg"/*>

I didn't put in the asterisks, and it's still not working. But the cool face worked...

btw, thanks alot for helping me out. and do you know of any plugins for images with vanilla2 ?

@markmac, you are linking to a file on your personal hard drive. It doesn't exist on a public server, which is why it's breaking. You need to upload it to a server of some sort. I always use http://imgur.com/

Thanks xbleed, but my site is local, too. Shouldn't vanilla be able to find it?

And does anyone know a place in the code where the size of images is controlled?
