Then click the link to that file. It will open in a browser window. Then copy the shortcut and insert it in your signature.

They have illegal characters in the file links such as @, = and ?. For those you are stuck with linking them. File Manager will let you upload files to this server, with legal file names.

I have always admired your car. I figured you would appreciate mine also. Kinda like twin sisters. It would be really cool to get a side by side pic someday. It might be hard to organize since we live about 2000 miles apart. Maybe someday though. I've learned that anything is possible. Marlin 1967 400/400 Conv. 2002 Trans Am Ram Air 6 Speed Hurst

Oh, and all I did was change the img - /img before and after to [img] - [/img] before and after respectively.
