Your link is missing the Http://www.hostingsite/account/filename parameter.
You have the filename.jpg only, you need the rest of it.
And the picture has to be hosted somewhere, not your own computer unless it is hosting your pics.
Where is the picture located?
2007 GMC 3500 dually ext. cab 4X4 LBZ
Duramax / Allison
Fire Red
1997 Triple E Topaz 27' Bunkhouse TT
81 Citation 25' "Tail dragger" "Under construction"
"Workin' man's rig"

Please don't start a new thread to test the same concept; add another post to your original thread. That helps us help you. It is also helpful if we know what your are trying to do.
Your partial URL ends in .jpg, so I guess you want to display a picture. If so, as with all links, URLs must be compete. Yours is missing 'http://' and the domain name. Also pictures would use IMG tags, not URL tags. The message window uses the Link tool,  to create 'clickable' links. It uses the Image tool,  to insert pictures. The two tools provide different tags to tell the display engine what it should do with the URL.
The FAQs at the top of this forum has links to tutorials for using four different free host sites for inserting pictures.

The second thread was an accident, I was trying to update the first one, feel free to delete this one. I am having trouble trying to post an old video on software my pc won't support, and was hoping I could load it here, but it did not work.

Deleting the other one would be the one to delete; it has no responses. I'll see If I can restore your original post in this thread.
One cannot have a video play on the forum. You would correct if you thought that you would have to post a link to a host site, such as YouTube, that contained the video.
Here is the URL you posted.
http://2F158111_1986727718744_1178315268938_21154_908_t.jpg/
The extension '.jpg' is for a picture, not a video. As stated above, the first part does not provide a domain name.
