Want to add an album cover to your post? It's easy!
Step 1: Find the cover online. All Music Guide and Wikipedia are two good sources.
Step 2: Copy the complete link for the image.
Step 3: Push the "Image" button at the top of the editing screen and paste in the link you found.
Voila! Instant album cover.

Let's say you want to post the album cover to Sting's Dream Of The Blue Turtles.
1) Here is the text we get from RYM. I added a space after the initial [ and the [ preceding "img" to preserve the actual text in this post
[ url=http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sting/the-dream-of-the-blue-turtles/][ img]//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/9456fa1b8a59a92e69c100e611812c87/1209657.jpg[/img][/url]
2) Here is what would appear if you pasted the above RYM text into a post:
//e.snmc.io/lk/f/l/9456fa1b8a59a92e69c100e611812c87/1209657.jpg
3) To correct the bug, insert "http:" after " [ img] " but before "//" in the original RYM text. I capitalized it, bolded it, and enlarged it to make it easier to see, but you don't have to do all that. Also, don't insert any spaces that I did to preserve the text for viewing.
