I want to add an online image to my post, so I click on "Insert Image", and I get this .

I want to insert an image with this link:
<a href=hxxp:join.zenzuu.com/mogama [nonactive]><img src=hxxp:content.zenzuu.com/zenzuubanners/3.gif [nonactive] border=0></a>

How do I insert this link into the image tag ?

I've tried and tried, but nothing seems to work. What's the right format for inserting my image link? Please help, and thanks in advance.

it would be:

[url=http://join.zenzuu.com/mogama][img]http://content.zenzuu.com/zenzuubanners/3.gif[/img][/url]

I too am pulling my hair out. I need to insert images that are resident on my harddrive not a server somewhere. all examples show using http:// and that is not clear. I tried copying and pasting no way.
how to put images from my harddrive into the body of a msg, not as attachment?
thanks

When you are composing your reply, click "Additional Options." That opens additional dialog that has a browse button to navigate to the attachment (image) that you want to upload. If you have more than one, click "more attachments" and add them too.

I'm almost wondering if it wouldn't cause less confusion to just mod out "Additional Options" and leave the dialog open all the time. My members are confused too, and I've had to explain it more than once let me tell you! :)

She asked for not as an attachment.
You cannot do that as others dont have access to your hard drive (unless it's a server).
You can use a free image host such as http://www.tinypic.com/ (no registration) or www.photobucket.com (registration).

So it means, that pictures need to be somewhere on the internet? I thought that TInyMCE or JCE has found its way here (like the ones on Joomla)

Those would be uploaded to the server I suspect :). The image HAS to be on the internet to be show there (unless you're on the computer with the image) :).
