How do I do it? I tried the Img tags but to no avail.

You have to upload the image to a host such as "imageshack", and use the links they provide to have the picture show within your post.

No trees were harmed in the posting of this message...however an extraordinarily large number of electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

I uploaded the image in question to my webserver and pointed to the file in my post ( which I believe is all that one does when using a fileserver such as imageshack). This method has worked on many other sites quite well, in fact I have my "sigpic" for several gaming sites hosted in this manner.

Is there a special syntax required to do it on this board?

I think the problem in your for-sale post is that there is a space between .jpg and [/img] OR you have clicked "Disable BBCode in this post" at the bottom
