and those like me that help out from time to time. Below you will see a red X. I've created this on purpose even though all I entered was a valid link to an image file (http://www.wdwinfo.com/sites/brazeal/donald.gif).

If you look at the properties of this "image" you should see

I think you will recognize this from other posts. I've seen it a number of times lately and wondered how the extra url and break were added to the beginning. I wanted to track down how this was being generated so that we could better help those that have this happen.

So far I've only been able to recreate it using the vB &#91IMG] tag but not the HTML &ltimg src= tag. Here is how it occurs. When entering the vB code, if you enter a carriage return between the &#91IMG] and http://... AND you have Automatically parse URLs unchecked, you will get the condition seen above. If you see

then there is also a carriage return between the end of the url and the closing &#91/IMG] tag.

So it seems to boil down again to making sure that folks don't insert returns when typing in HTML or vB codes and just let the message entry box or the signature entry box do automatic returns.

I wondered why I kept seeing that. Thanks for the detective work, Bob.
