EVERYONE PLEASE - read the article carefully... particularly this statement:

"if this doesn't work the most common cause is not doing it exactly right."

Two dots happens if your HTML is bad or incomplete (for example the /> was left off). The most common cause is that the URL you are trying to use is TOO LONG. You MUST use a shorter URL. Make sure that EVERYTHING explained above fits in the caption box ... if it doesn't, it's too long. Make it shorter.

I'm closing comments on this article, since it's just repeats of this exact same issue.

UPDATE: I've added this article for those of you having problems with URLs that are too long: http://ask-leo.com//the_link_i_want_to_use_to_post_a_picture_on_myspace_is_too_long_what_can_i_do.html

make the name of the picture smaller, and then try again.

Hi, I'm trying to put an image in my "companies" section. I'm using the exact code that Leo suggests, which usually works just fine. I used tinypic.com to host my gif. The problem I'm having is that when I enter the code, MySpace automatically converts the quote marks to """ kind of the way it automatically converts a typed ampersand into "&". Is there a way to disable this so that I can see my image and not a long line of converted code?

Thanks!

Ok it took out the code so let me explain it
when you copy and paste the code they give you
take out the myspace url so you have ""
then you have to re-add the alt="" / >
now go to tinypic.com use that url and put it between the first ""

This works I swear
use this code

because when you copy and paste the code they have the myspace url is too long so it removes the alt thing at the end of the code, so go to tinypic.com or tinyurl.com to make the url shorter then put that url where my code says url

This site is good for cutting down URL's so they fit in the caption box.

okay, seriously people. if the url is too long, go to your documents, and your pictures, find the picture, rename it as 'a' or something short like one letter. then try with the url.
