Help posting pictures

[Snoring Rhino]

Sorry to be a dumb a**e but can some one take me gently through the steps of posting a picture in my profile and into a message. Its the HTTP:// bit thats confusing me!!

Well I dunno about profiles, but in a message...

the pic has to be under a certain size, and has to be one of the listed formats. People have reported problems when previewing a post into which they've inserted a picture - the pic doesn't always show. I used to have immense problems getting a pic into a post but I might now have the hang of it.

Regarding profiles - I am guessing (but someone who knows will be along soon) that it needs to be hosted on a webserver somewhere, rather than resident on your local drive. Then you would be able to load it in your browser by typing it's web address (like you say, http://www.....)

o forst you need a webserver, or a good frienship with someone else that has one and who will host your picture.

Phew, that was a lot of typing consideing I'm probably wrong!

Thanks Smokie - its the web site bit that confusess.

SN,
I notice that the file name for your  profile picture is
http://www.clubarnage.com/yabbse/YaBBImages/avatars/c:/iansfile/ianspics/ianandbradmg.jpg

This is clearly not working as you just get a red X where the picture should be.
Also, the file address is wrong (the c:/ for example).
What you need is somewhere on the www to host your chosen picture, then you use the full http: address of this picture in the edit profile area to add your chosen picture.

If you like, you could email your profile picture to me at my email address at the left, I'll upload it to my host site and then I'll e-mail the file link to you so that you can paste it into your profile.

Hey presto, your own picture.
It works for me, I host the dancing girl at left, the cobra club logo below, and a couple of other more dubious pictures for other posters.

Nice photo guys, so, whats the spoiler for, keeping the luggage rack on ?

Further to Steve Browns reply, try  muchos.co.uk they let you host pics. I use muchos for my xpower forums logo piccy.

This is not a true representation of the weekend really - The picture seems to have me in the passenger seat.....I always drive because you're too drunk/too tired/cant be arsed....

Just the way I like it - I hit 130 whilst you were asleep last year and you didnt even notice  

[Snoring Rhino]

Just dont tell ya Mum

[Brad Zarse]

Its OK - She doesnt know it can do 130 mph - she hasnt found 5th gear yet

On the other hand, judging by last years near disasterous incident, neither have you!!

Brad, are you smuggling some of the Weapns of Mass Destruction on the luggage rack, or are they green covered chairs ??

Trust me - after a few beers and a good meal, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussain and George Bush COMBINED have NOTHING On the Snoring Rhinos......

The green things are my ear defenders so that I can sleep    Only on the Thursday I hasten to add......
