How to post pictures:
There are two ways of posting pictures on this forum:
1 - Posting pictures from your own computer. For example, your own pictures of your own van or your own jobs. When doing this, please make sure that the pictures aren't too big. 640 x 480 is probably the maximum size.
2 - Posting pictures that are already on the Internet. For example, you may have seen a picture on another web site that you think may be of interest to other people.
I'll explain both processes. They are both very simple.
1 - Posting your own pictures from your computer.These pictures will appear at the bottom of your post.
i - Make sure you know where the picture is. (I always put them on my desktop so I can find them easily.)
ii - Start making your post using the "Reply" button.
iii - Below the dialog box you will see :
Additional Options... Click on this.
iv - You will see "
Attach" and a "choose file" button. Click the button
v - Navigate to your chosen picture file and select it. The name of the file will then appear next to the button.
Repeat this as often as you wish. Your reply and the selected pictures will be uploaded when you finish.
2 - Posting pictures that are already on the Internet. I guess that you ought to get permission. I'll leave that to you.
These pictures will appear wherever you place them in your reply.
i - Find the picture you want to post.
ii - Right click on the image and choose "Copy image URL" from the drop down menu. (This doesn't always appear. If the image is part of a java applet, you might not be able to do it.) This will copy the address of the picture file onto your clipboard. You'll paste it from here later in stage v.
iii - Return to the "Post Reply" page.
vi - Click the "Insert Image" button (
) (It's the one below the
I button) This will insert a code which looks a bit like {IMG} {/IMG}
v - Place your cursor between the brackets and paste the URL code that you copied in stage i. (Paste by using cntrl + v)
Have fun with it!!!!
