Sometimes....They Just Don't Fall Your Way

Finally had a decent night last evening. This was the first game--started with a bunch of crap strikes with my Black Urethane that kept coming heavy. Then, I hit my best shot of the night to leave.......a 7-pin. Went for the spare, thought I had it and turned around.......only to hear it hit the curtain without a "clunk". The plastic ball must've hit a dry spot and it curved just enough to miss.

All in all, a 667 on a very weird night. 9.41 first ball average pounding the pocket all night long. There were a few times I came up heavy and left some unfortunate splits, but I'm happy after not having a 600 let alone 250+ yet this season.

You have to host image on your own and link it here with IMG tag

Yes, that's what I did and it still won't work.

The reason your image didn't show is because this address is not the direct link to the image file itself. So the IMG tags couldn't parse it

The direct image link would end with a .png or .jpg extension

To use this url you would just post it as link using the url tags like this:

I don't know about amazon prime, you have see if it provides a direct link to the file. So you can post it inline.

Thanks, 1820--I'll stick to the URL that you posted. It's an unfortunate setup with the board's software.

Well not so much the board software (this board just has a very small size limit, images take up a lot of space/bandwidth). Hosting sites like Amazon want you to go to their site to see images, not just hot link directly to the file.

Other hosting sites like postimage.org which I've been using, provide direct image links, ones with thumbnails etc. for use on boards and such.

Thanks for the tip about the website. It's just that other forums where I post have a much different, more user-friendly setup. I'm not complaining--it is what it is.
