Classifieds Advertising - Inserting Image in Body of Text - No html or text editor or image insertion facility available

I have seen a posting in one of the larger UK Classified Advertising sites which included an image within the body of the text. I am familiar with the process of copying an image location and inserting that link within the body of text where this facility exists. In this case this facility does not seem to exist yet this individual has managed to insert a gif image directly within the body of the text. I have checked the image location and it is (user details have been changed).....
"http://www.THEusersWEBSITEaddress.com/image.gif" without the quote marks.
If I view the Selection Source in Firefox for this gif and look at the first line where the image is located the html code is .......
<p><img src="http://www.THEusersWEBSITEaddress.com/image.gif"><br><br>
I do not understand how this source can be entered when the site offers no facility to add source code within the body of the text.
I have tried adding similar code in the body of my posting text but all it does is adds a link from it without inserting an image. I have to admit I have not posted the changes but just previewed the result.
I see some users of this forum use the link facility to Photobucket and that inserts a picture on the Webuser posting. I could try using Photobucket as I have pictures there already, but inserting the link text to a picture on my web site does not work so I cannot see how Photobucket will be any help.
This same Classified Advertising site does offer a separate facility to add 3 pictures, but as there are a countless number Classified Sites on the internet that do not offer image insertion facilities at all it would be helpful to know how this can be done without access to the html code.
Any ideas?

Well generally forums use IMG tags:

Code:

[IMG]*url of image*[/IMG]

Or on this forum...

[image]*url of image*[/image]


It might be worth a try.

Other than that it might be worth contacting the site owners and asking them since a picture in an ad can make all the difference between someone deciding they want what you're selling or not.

Most forum software uses it own mark up language when user's post but outputs it as HTML when someone views it.

Thank you for your input. Problem solved!
Seems to work like this.
The code is <img src="http ........ etc.

Firstly upload the 3 photos in Gumtree as normal.
Then click on the help button. Gumtree has supplied a sample src code to use.
Copy the code across into the body of your text and then replace the sample link with your own http link which you can obtain from your host site (Photobucket).
When previewing, if you have to go back to change something the link text will need to re-inserted correctly again.
Handy if you have a logo which you want to place at the start of your text!
