and lost patience with it
Ok, now take a deep breath....... Now, this might sound very technical or complicated, but bear with me. Go to the picture page again, once the pic has loaded, click on the picture once more. Once this new page has loaded, right click anywhere on the page, but not on the pic. A list of options will be displayed, one of them will be either 'View Page Source" if you're using Firefox, or "View Source" if you're using Internal Explosion.
Click on the one appropriate to you, and a page will be opened in Notepad/Word/some other editing software. There will be a long url within an IMG source tag like "http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photos/11091.jpg"
Copy this link and paste this into the img thingamajig like such,

You will now see the image in your post, because you've got a direct link to the image in the database, and not the picture page...
