Post the image in a dispatch, then there should be a link to pin it in your region, assuming you have appearance authority. Unfortunately, the [img] tag does not work in WFEs.

Um, okay. so i copy/paste the picture in the dispatch? And if so, which category does it fall under? i have authority over appearance. And what's WFE? Im sorry I'm technologically challenged. :)

Copy/paste the image URL. Like this one: http://forum.nationstates.net/images/smilies/sm_facepalm.gif
Then you enclose it in image tags, like this:
Code: Select all
[img]http://forum.nationstates.net/images/smilies/sm_facepalm.gif[/img]

And voilà: Image

That's not the image URL. The actual URL would be what you would get if you were to right-click on it and select "copy image URL". That URL is for a webpage where it's embedded.

Judging from the URL you posted (which, as Lepp said, is not the one you should use), I believe this is what you want in your dispatch:

Code: Select all
[img]http://orig10.deviantart.net/eadd/f/2015/025/1/8/blank_map_of_ex_yugoslavia_by_dinospain-d8fd08e.png[/img]


Which, when viewed, will look like this:

So i have the final, edited picture on my desktop, so now what? It's different from the one you guys helped me with last night. I want to post it on facebook but i can't. Plus, I'm not authorized to use it. So I want to put it on the YAHOO images. Does anybody know how to do this? Thank you!

You don't need Yahoo images. You need an image host to upload the image to, and then you will get an image URL from them with which to embed the image. Just Google "image host" and you should be fine.

And as long as we're on the topic of the [img] tags, [v], is there any chance that the [img] tags can be made to work with the data URI scheme?
