how come I can't upload pictures anymore?!!

Can u attach picture?

There are 2 ways of posting a picture on the forum.

 

1. Attaching A File

One way is to attach the picture using the button "Browse..." located at the bottom of the page when you reply to a "Post" or start and new "Thread". Your Browse Window will appear like the one below. Find the picture you want to post, click on it and then click the "Open" button on the Browse Window.

 

 

Now when you submit your post or thread, the picture will appear as an attachment at the bottom of your message.

You can only attach 1 file per post.

 

Reasons why the picture wont upload

* The file is too large.

* The file is not a valid format

 

 

2. Adding Image Tags

Another way is to put a link of the picture into tags. This will cause the picture to appear on the post. First you need to get the link for the picture so the picture has to be on the internet, personal web space or in your rides. If the picture is on your computer, you have to upload it onto the internet first.

Get the link by right clicking on the picture and then select properties on the menu which appears.

 

 

 

A window showing some information about the picture will appear. Use the mouse and highlight, so it turns blue, all the text next to the Address (URL): right click on the text and then select "Copy"

 

 

 

 

To add your picture to the post, where you want the picture to be type

[img=(Then paste the link of the picture here)]

 

Please ignore the word code. You want the part in small writing.

Please make sure you dont have no spaces between any of the characters.

 

When you submit your message, the picture will automatically appear when the message is opened.

 

Reasons why picture doesn't show

* The link is wrong

* The link is old and the picture is no longer there

* You have not used the img tags correctly

* The file you have linked is not a common picture format.

Thanks mate, I sussed out that the image was too large in the end as I tried uploading a smaller file and sure enough, it worked no problem.

 

Cheers for the info though, I now know how to add attachments, never knew how to do that before. :)
