I tried with the insert image [img ]http://www.pclinuxos.com/home/hugo/Documents/shot.png[/ img]
and [img ]http://home/hugo/Documents/shot.png[/ img]

You need to transfer (upload) the image to an image service like TinyPic. The [img ]/home/hugo/Documents/shot.png[/ img] should be [img ]http://somewebsite.com/uploaded_screenshot.png[/ img].

i forgot to mention that we used to have that feature on the forum, upload images directly but there was a problem so we use now image upload services

postimage.org is great

there is some not allowed like photobucket

....
add testing in your repo line
....
remove testing from repo
....
How can I add testing to my repo line?
(I guess that it is a new repo to add)
And then how can I remove testing from repo?
(like to remove a repo?)

it is a option you add to the repo you have, open synaptic package manager

in settings/repositories select the one you have and in the sections add the word testing

so it goes from this

main updates nonfree games kde4

to this

main updates nonfree games kde4 testing

apply and reload

this will let you install everything on that section, only install what you need and then edit again repo, remove the word testing and reload again

remove flash-player-plugin from Synaptic
add testing in your repo line
change
main updates nonfree kde4 games
to
main updates nonfree kde4 games testing
reload and search for flash-player-plugin11.1
mark and apply
remove testing from repo

should do ;)
Ed

P.S. the download from the rar file is the unofficial way.
DONE!!!! PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU  :)
SOLVED

those are good news  :)

about the postimage, the link that you posted doesn't end in a image extension

postimage offers many options to post images in different modes, the one that works is the first that ends with the file extension called direct link extension and should look like this(without the spaces i added)

and looks like this

the one that always works is direct link o link directo, la segunda choice

the others used to give me problems sometimes on this forum

i'm surprised that most users work with very bright colors, i couldn't work like that, my eyes can't handle that
