    I always liked these, I think it's a parental influence thing[:D]

    My dad is always saying he wants one too!

    Dive wise, the Red Sea is cool, nice and warm (before, during and after) but if you're there for a long time, seeing hundreds of brightly colored fish EVERY day can get a bit boring - If you ever go, go on a wreck themed dive as opposed to sightseeing.

    I've had some really good dives in Weymouth (south England) and never get bored there.

    Chesil Beach is an excellent spot, it's a reinforced causeway, and becuase it's all rock (not much sand) visibilty can be amazingly good.

    I mainly take pictures and video whilst diving, so as long as there's something (new) to look at, I'm happy.[:D]

    Hey 'Richard' no worries - was foreign to me too (still is, but I got it to work somehow)!

    Somewhere on your ISP's main site, will be a talk-through on how to 'claim' your webspace.

    I'm with BTINTERNET, and after finding out how to do it, called my space kerm1t.btinternet.co.uk

    To view it, I type http://www.kerm1t.btinternet.co.uk/

    If you click on the link, it'll show a list of all the pics I've uploaded (mainly for forums I think)

    The upload program, WS_FTPLE, I downloaded from the web, here's the google search results, you should be able to download it somewhere here;

    http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=WS_FTPLE&...le+Search&meta=

    Once you got it installed, and have named your space, you just drag and drop files from your computer onto the net

    ftp.JPG

    On the left is my desktop, on the right is my webspace.

    Once you dropped file, the link to it is your webspace address, plus the filename you just dropped.

    So the link would read http://www.kerm1t.btinternet.co.uk/RIGHT.JPG

    for the right hand view of a truck I sold

    Then, to get it to show up as a photo, just put the image code;(img) and (/img) at either end of the link

    ()=[]id="red">id="size5">

    The hardest bit of all of it for me, was finding the address for my webspace in the first place.

    First off, get some web space from your isp. They should already have allocated some for you.

    Next, upload pix to web - I use a prog called WS_FTPLE

    Once you done that, the picture will have an address, like a web page. My rough rider signature's web page is; http://www.andy.pentangle.co.uk/sinature.JPG

    Then use code to tell the forum to show an image;

    (img)http://www.andy.pentangle.co.uk/sinature.JPG(/img)

    You'll need to replace the () with [] for it to work properly, or click on the little icon that looks like a mountain range and type or paste your pix web address in between the backets;

    (img) TYPE OR PASTE WEB ADRESS HERE(/img)

    Then click the 'preview' button to check you done it right

    If you have, your text and picture will show in a preview box.

    How to do A Signature:

    First off, you need;

    2 pictures for a 'morph' where 1 car turns into another

    or

    A selection of pics for a slideshow.

    Then you need a program to do the magic.

    I used Microsoft Gif Animator for part of it, and Winmorph V2.01

    Jimbo used Paint Shop Pro 5

    Calvin3 used Ulead Gif Animator

    Once you got it animated, you need to put it on the webspace your internet provider supplies, then link to it using (img) and (/img) but replace the ('s with [ and the )'s with ]

    This one below;

    morph.gif

    is displayed by typing;

    (img)http://www.kerm1t.btinternet.co.uk/morph.gif(/img)

    Don't forget the ( and ) need to be [ and ] though.

    I have to type them as ( and ) to explain, otherwise you'll just get another pic.

    Check the size of the file when you're finished, if it's too big, us 56k guys will have to wait hours to see it [:D]

    THIS IS WHY BILLPOINT SUCK:

    My Question;

    Hi there

    Received a payment and would prefer it was not transferred into my bank

    account.

    Can I keep it in my Billpoint account (how?) or transfer it to my PayPal

    account (how?)

    Many thanks

    Andy Moore

    Their 'reply'

    Dear Andy,

    Thank you for writing to Billpoint/eBay Online Payments UK.

    As a seller, your payment typically arrives in your bank account seven

    business days after the buyer successfully completes the payment

    process. All of your payment details are available on-line in your eBay

    Payments/Billpoint Deposits & Fees Report, available from My eBay under

    the Accounts tab or from the eBay Payments/Billpoint home page at

    www.billpointuk.com.

    Why does it seem to take a long time for your payment to reach your

    account? First, we rely on existing financial systems to move money.

    These systems operate on business days only, so when a weekend (or worse

    yet, a holiday weekend) falls in the middle of your payment schedule,

    this can add time into the process.

    Here is how the payment process breaks down:

    1. On Day 0, the buyer successfully completes the credit/debit card

    payment process. We send this transaction to our bank processor that

    night.

    2. On Day 1, our processor sends the transaction to the appropriate card

    association (Visa, MasterCard, Switch, Solo).

    3. On Day 2, the card associations send our bank processor all the

    deposits for the credit/debit card transactions sent on Day 1.

    4. On Day 3, our processor sends these funds to eBay Payments/Billpoint,

    and we send your payment into the international banking network (BACS),

    where it travels electronically to your bank.

    5. Depending upon your bank's processing system, it may take another 4

    business days for the payment to appear in your account as available for

    withdrawal. This additional four days from the day we send payment is

    the standard timeframe for transactions moving through the BACS system

    and is not controllable by eBay Online Payments.

    If your payment has taken longer than the process described above,

    please contact our Seller Payment

    Department at payment@billpointuk.com, and we'll be happy to

    investigate.

    Kind regards,

    Etc.

    Did any of that answer my question?
