Adding Pictures Again!

[Tony K]

I know we have been told a million times how to add pictures but I've forgotten. I have tried searching threads, without success.

Please can someone point me to the instructions.

Baggo - it looks as though you can do it.

Thinking of renaming myself "Woodentop"

Hi Tony,

have a look at:

modeleng.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=Images&action=display&thread=1090418013

It took me ages to work it out for the first time. I didn't realise that you had to put the URL of the photo in-between the image tags!

Tony, just a quick re-cap:

1 You need to put your image somewhere on the Internet, for example on a site like Photobucket or maybe on your own webspace (I checked your profile and see you have a BT email address so you probably have some web space too!). The image can be pretty much anywhere - if it's visible on the net it will probably display ok here in the forum.

The point is that the image needs to be stored or 'hosted' elsewhere, you can't upload it directly to this forum.

2 In your post you create a link to the image i.e. it's address on the 'net. For example if you had a website called www.tonytrans.co.uk and you stored and image called 'steam.jpg' in an '\images' folder on that site you would include this link in your post

www.tonytrans.co.uk/images/steam.jpg[\img]

The 'image tags' (the words IMG and /IMG in square brackets) must enclose the image's address.

If you need any help in getting your images onto the net just shout.


PS Note for other users:

If you need to include BBCode tags in an explanation and not have them interpreted, use the 'CODE' or better still 'PRE' tags (as I did above to demonstrate use of the 'IMG' tag).

Oh yeah, you might want to include a clickable image (maybe leading to a bigger picture or more pictures stored elsewhere) put your IMG tags inside URL tags.

Thanks for that guys. If you can see this then I am home and dry....

Nah! Something wrong with that. It's too clean!

You must have got and old programme in your camera cos it shows a Myford, is that what you posted or was it a Boxford?

[Tony K]

Well - at least you can see it. Yes, very clean, well it was then anyway. Have just upgraded from Speed10 to Super 7 longbed with gearbox, crossfeed, industrial stand and inverter 3 phase variable speed - it is just beautiful - I just hope my skills can rise to it!
