*Very* clever - I impressed! :-)

Now, dear mentor, do the same using a URL.

I did it very quickly by graphics editing - later realizing I could have
cloned the black "B" from the bottom instead of the blue one.

I could also have edited the html locally and done a screen capture.

I don't have web presence, so someone else will have to do that for you.

Depending upon *your* situation, they may be able to make it look like it
comes from answers.microsoft.com.

....an expert won't be fooled though.

I know you always have trouble posting links to images you've uploaded so
that the full image, and only the full image is linked. On the page you
linked, on the left, is a list of four possible URLs which you may post
in various media. If you click the one labelled 'Direct Link For Layouts'
to highlight it, then copy it into your post, this is the link your
readers will get:

<http://i55.tinypic.com/2mhzt4m.jpg>

See the difference?

FYI
HTH
HAND

BTW A terrible bit of editing.

Yeah, I was using hostphotofree before, and tinypic now.
I just use the one labelled as the most appropriate for mail
and news posts.

So, I *should* do:

http://tinypic.com/r/2mhzt4m/7

....and for the hard of thinking

Yeah, but it only took seconds. I found a better clone for the
"B" after the fact. As I wrote in another post, it would have
been "perfect" had I edited the html locally instead of doing
the manipulations on BD's own screen cap.

I was in a hurry... D

For your future reference: one should never rush things when the
intention is to play to BD's paranoia.
