Why is it so difficult to upload pics onto this site ?
I can upload any pic from any photo album to any chosen site very easily direct from my picture albums.
I managed to get pics across to photobucket but i am unable to transfer them here from photobucket.
After spending an hour trying to do it on this site i have given up in disgust.
Why oh why is this site so complicated in places.
If you know how to use Photobucket, just copy the img code and paste into your forum post
There’s a how to in the FAQ, I have just updated it for the new Photobucket
Hi Keith,
Firstly your pics need hosting on a server. Photo bucket is fine.
Then find the web address (URL) for the pic. Easiest I find is to display the pic then right click it and choose properties (internet explorer) or view image info (firefox) depending on your browser.
Highlight and copy the adddress, it will start http://
In the message editor box click the icon with a green tree and paste the image web address - done - you can find and display any pic on the web using this method.
Problem with that Rich is that you are almost certainly abusing someones copyright
Good point Geoff 
Thank you all for the help & advice.
I have spent another fruitless hour trying to upload pics using your good knowledge but to no avail as i have no idea of the things you speak of.
I am fairly useless at computer stuff so im giving up the idea of posting pics on here.
Strange thing is i can upload pics of any sort to various other sites direct from ‘My Pictures’ very easily, all it takes is a couple of clicks & its done.
Some parts of this site do seem over complicated.
Thanks again for your help guys, much appreciated.
Keith, if you want to send the pics over to the mail address I’m about to PM to you, I’ll post them for you.
cheers,
Martyn
Hi Keith
Yes this forum software is, to be frank, crap! We were effectively lumbered with it by a previous administration who knew nothing about forum software. I run some other forums using the free forum software and they all have the facility that you mention, and it works well. Downside is that the pics are not a permanent feature on the forum. They will after time be deleted from the forum gallery, I guess as a space saver. The advantage with Photobucket is that they are as permanent as anything gets in this modern world.
We have a new forum coming along in the not too distant future so maybe we will fare bettter there.
In the meantime if you would like me to post the pics for you, email them to me as attachments to geoff@verithingeoff.com
Thank you Martyn, im happy to take up your offer & have just mailed you the pics.
Your offer is much appreciated Geoff, thank you.
I have taken up Martyns offer (see above) as he is is close to me & is in fact my local club organiser.
I echo your sentiments & hope the future forum can offer the simple upload facilities i am used to on various other sites.
Thanks again
Keith
