Since we're handing out html lessons you should learn some of the escape codes for html. Namely:
< (&lt;)
& (&amp;)
> (&gt;)

Then you can show something like
< a href="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimg.jpg">< img width=100 height=100 src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimg.jpg" > < /a >

Without any annoying spaces.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimg.jpg"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourimg.jpg"></a>

Here is a list of some more useful ones.

Enforcing an image-containing template might be a good move. While people that don't post screenshots have themselves to blame for not getting much attention, the endless rows of such posts here caused me to hardly ever check this place anymore, even though it's in my favorites list. Which defeats the purpose of the forum: announcements are there to be read.

Well, there's still the gallery board otherwise...

I did use escape codes in my post. The spaces were left in intentionally for clarity.

Please stay on topic as this thread is aimed towards effective game posting and not html. I only used html for easy reference.

If someone is looking for a great resource for html reference and tutorials, they can also check out w3schools.com.
