you can't link images off your computer's hardrive....you need to upload it to the web using an image host, then inserting the image direct link into the image tags on the fourm

ok, here is what i did:

I copied a skill image from a site to my icon folder, but when I go to my game folder, opened up the database, go to the skills tab, changed the skill icon picture to the one i copied from the internet, the picture didnt appear on the left side.

by the way, the picture is this image:

im still a little puzzled by what you mean by saving it as a different file format that rpgmaker can read.  :-\

images save as different files...rpg maker can only read certain type of file..(not sure what it is) I think png works..using photoshop, you have the option to save the file in many differnt formats.
