Whenever you donate some money for something similar, I always wonder. I just hope and wish it arrives safely to its destination to the people who really need it. In Spain we say: If you handle honey, you lick your fingers up! At this point, the only thing I can do is to build up the account and add some more rice. Cheers! ID: 834636 ·

I am still feeling a bit ill, thus I am not in the best of moods... @Kenzie & Uli... Basic HTML Standard says that you can create a image link using the code (I believe): <a href="website link here"><img src="image source here" width="width" height="height" border="no border or border" alt="Text"></a> So I assumed you might be able to do that with BBCode, and it worked (remove the asterisks): [url=http://www.freerice.com][img]http://www.freerice.com/banners/88_31_MicroButton.jpg[/img][/url] Outcome: [url=http://www.freerice.com][img]http://www.freerice.com/banners/88_31_MicroButton.jpg[/img][/url] @ Blurf Blurf, we are relying on trust here, this crossed my mind when I was creating the thread, but I hoped that everyone would be truthful in their posts. To show that my donations are legitimate, I will post an image at a later date, I am too tired right now... Another 1,000 grains from me. We can make a million if we try... - Luke. ID: 834696 ·
