Ah ok, lol, I had trouble with this before as well. And no problem on the cover, it wasn't too hard once I was able to figure out what I wanted to do :3
So, posting an image to a discussion board. For me, I do it two ways. I prefer the second:
1. Copy and paste the URL link of the image and place
<img src=" right in front of the url, pasting it after this. And that is exactly how it is, right there, no undoing spaces or anything.
2. I post a lot of my covers to Photobucket and then copy and paste the HTML link that they provide there.
Hope this helps!
