sending pictures to forum

[onedayTM]

Hi all,
Can anybody tell me how to send pictures to the forum. Dont messing with cars, cutting, grinding or welding but not all together into computers probably due to my old age.
Any help would be appreciated!

cheers

hi tm
apparently pics are too large so you have to resize them to fit !!!!photobucket is one of the popular site/means of doing this (so i,m told ) apparently their are others but photobucket apparently is dead easy too use (if you are aged between 10 and 20)

Hi tm

i have been using flickr really easy to use as it kind of tells you what to do and you can link pics to here really easy.

TM,
When you are typing up a reply to a thread etc there is a section at the bottom to manage files...took me an age to suss it out but once you find it it's a doddle. It puts up a link to your pictures so folk can clicky and open them.

Cheers,

Hi tm

the way i do it is by opening my flickr account on another page and right clicking the mouse on the pic i want to post and then click properties. next copy the url/address of the pic now return to the roadster page and click reply. just above the reply box there are some little pics you want to click on the one that looks like a postcard hover the mouse over them its the one that says insert image. a box will open and now paste in the url/address of the pic. you can check its been added by clicking preview post

hope that helps

Davie
