How do I change make the text of my post wrap round an image?

My apologies if this is not the correct place to post this question. I couldn't see anywhere else to put it.

I want to post a message in the forum. The message will include an image. I know how to do that, using the [IMG] tags. It works fine.

But I'd also like the text of the message to wrap round the image. In other words, if the image is on the left of the message, I want to text to start to the right, not below the image, which seems to be the default.

I know this is possible because I've seen other MobileRead forum messages that do it. I just can't figure it out.

I hope this question makes sense and that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I think I've only seen wrap-around text on the home page for headlines. Maybe you need special green powers to do it.

Ah, you might be right. I've definitely seen it posts. But the post I had in mind was posted by young Ms Pinwheel, who is definetely green (which I mean in the nicest possible way).

Posts with a picture to the right and then text on the left are front-page posts. They appear both on the front page and in their original position in the forum thread. If you look at the front page of the site you'll see what I mean.

Thanks, Harry. I see what you mean.
