Cannot insert a picture

[zidorov]

I'm inserting a picture as described in topics I've read previously.
(without asterisks)

But it is still inserted as link not as embedded image.
What I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

This question gets asked several times every single day...
The search function is in the top right corner, and would have resulted in threads like these ones, explaining everything:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1765784.0

There even is a section explaining the problem in the stickied thread at the top of the subforum you were posting in:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0
The thread is called "Newbies - Read before posting", search this thread for "I cannot post images?"

basically, this is your answer:

How to fix it?

You're still a newbie so you can't post a photo. Make it to atleast a jr. rank.

It might be a good idear to lock this topic, otherwise it will get swamped with dozens of people telling you exactly the same thing...

Thanks! I've searched the forum before posting a question but haven't found a notice about newbie account.
I'm going to lock my topic now.
