This has probably been covered but...

How do you post a picture to this forum?[?][?]

[TWINSET]

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.

OK. So how do you get the web space your ISP has provided. And where do you get the software you mentioned, or any other software.

I'm a complete idiot when it comes to knowing how to do computer stuff. But I understand when someone tells me.

As a side issue, I've found that most people who try to help me with computer problems always talk as if it is obvious and I'm a complete "Richard Head" which is a little annoying when it is just because they can't understand people.

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

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.

I'll try it sometime. My problem is that I live here in Belgium and most of my server stuff is in Dutch or French. I don't understand enough of either to make sense of it. I have to get the girlfriend to help ( shes Belgian ) but she hates doing technical stuff.

[]I'll have to "treat her right!!?" for a few days and get her on side!!...[]

The alternative would be to get a yahoo site, they come complete with upload tools so you can edit easily over the internet, and load the pictures without a ftp-program of your own.

Actually theres an easy way to do this. If you find a picture on the web that you like, right-click on the picture. Goto->Properties and copy using Cntrl-C the http address. The click on the icon and park your cursor between the "img" and "/img". Then hit Cntrl-V.

Can you tell that I do this for living???[]
