Posting a photo

Two ways to do it, if you want to host it yourself you will need an account with Photobucket or you can post it yourself direct to the forum. You will not have any control as to what happens to your photos though, if that bothers you host them yourself. We have our own account, see HERE
Please do not abuse it, it is open to all on trust.
Anyone who does will be removed and banned from the forum.

HOW TO POST DIRECT TO THE FORUM

First start a post as you would normally do.
Below the normal Post Box that opens is a blue link that says Attach File (Bottom left corner).

CLICK on it, this will open:

Click BROWSE to find the photo on your computer and select the picture you want. Double click it and then CLICK on UPLOAD FILE.

That's it, done.

Please note if it is a large photo, please upload it as a thumbnail. There is a box to tick to do this when you are uploading it.
Take your time, the forum will wait for quite a while till you work it out

There are other options you can select when uploading a photo, but you will be able to use the TEST AREA (Bottom of Forum) if you are unsure as to how to do it.

If you have problems ASK.

PLEASE only post one photo per post as it slows down the page when loading if you add more.
It is almost impossible for someone with Dial-up to load the page if there are a lot of photos.
Trust me I know, I still remember Dial-up

Photo's are best to be 640X480

If it is thumbnails, you can put as many as you want, they are just a small picture link to the stored photo.

One final point: Make sure the photo is a .jpeg as other types may not work!
