LOL. What I am saying is this:
If you paste a URL now, of any kind, the chat board will automatically make it a hotlink. If it's a URL to a picture, it will still be a hotlink even if you put the [IMG] codes in [/IMG].
So:
Without the BBL img code, direct paste:
http://static.flickr.com/33/56733869_42f4fece4a_o.jpg
WITH the BBL img codes, directly pasted between img code tags:
[IMG]

Doesn't work right?
But if I copy that second example, then paste it in windows notebook or some other text program that is not hyperlink friendly, then re-copy it again and past THAT version, it will work like this:
So you basically need to have a notepad TXT file open to do any image pasting. At least that's how I get around the hyperlinking.
