Test of post (error in spacing after period, inability to show images)

Here is an image link, written with no spaces at all, which shows up just fine in other forums:

This is a second test post.     The original text has one space after a period.     Three drafts were saved; in each draft, another space was automatically added by the software after all periods.

It's a measure applied to new accounts automatically, to curtail spam bots. Once you've made (ten?) posts you'll be just fine.

May I congratulate this antispam feature for inducing spammage?

(Yes, it's a clever feature, but I spent 30 minutes doing Internet searches and testing three different browsers before spending another 15 writing up and testing the posts at the top of this thread. )
