Using the img tag in a post

[ghostbook]

Hi all, I'm trying to make a post with the [ IMG ] tag but it only shows the URL and not the picture.
I've tried png and gif, but both just display the URL. Is it because I'm a new user I don't have permission to link to an external img hoster?
For example: [ img ]http://somesite/img.gif[ /img ] -- without the spaces of course.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

You have to be at least a Jr. Member to post images. While you are a newbie, they will appears as links. After you become a Jr. Member they will automatically display as they normally should.
