when you click REPLY the Option to attach a file is not visible.
Look to the Left side of the Box where you type.
You will see "Additional Options".
click it.  that is where the Magic happens!

If your image is already on the Internet, copy and paste the address of the image and then put

[ img ] before the address and then put this: [ /img ]  at the end.
(leave the spaces between the brackets out though, I had to put them in or the tags would not show up.)

Title: TO UPLOAD A PHOTO
Post by: Triporteur on June 05, 2007, 07:53:44 PM
I already posted this several months ago (it's from my http://www.triporteurs.co.uk website). How about someone making PHOTO UPLOAD INSTRUCTIONS (this or someone else's) into a sticky at the top of each forum category so we can get more images posted onto the forum?

Post subject: HOW TO ADD A PHOTO TO YOUR FORUM POST
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 8:11 pm

To add a photo to this (or any other) forum, you need to use a third-party website such as Photobucket.com.

Go to the website, and follow the instructions there for uploading a digital photo stored on your own computer.

If you look at Photobucket.com as an example, you'll see that under the photo you have uploaded are 3 names, in boxes titled url, tag and img. The bottom one (img) is the one you need.

IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS: (http://title of your photo)

Copy and paste that title under the text in your forum posting; for example -

Hi, my name is Otto and here's a picture of my Blotto
(http://blotto.jpg)

Miracle of miracles ...your photo appears in your posting!


Essentially, a forum cannot host (store) your photo, but the title you have copied and pasted into your forum post is a link to where your photo is stored in cyberspace (in this case photobucket.com). You could link it similarly to your own website.

When you upload your photos from your computer to Photobucket it automatically resizes them to the maximum size it allows. And it's free.

If you're not yet totally familiar with internet tasks, this is a great exercise for practising and learning more about how things work inside the cyberspace engine.

Good luck!

Colin

Hello Colin, I did try following your instructions back in February, but the bit I ( and I think several others) were falling down on was the bit about typing the address of the picture one wants to use from the third-party website. We'd type the address but it still wouldn't attatch where we wanted it.

 I got the pictures up by having first saved the picture I wanted to use in the "my picturers" folder of my own computer. and then opening that file in the box that askes you for the address of the third-party website. (Is that bit clear to everyone still struggling?)

 The Yellow thing pictured above did indeed come from your original listing. No offence taken I hope, but I save just about every picture I come across on the forum/ebay/elsewhere, and this was the first one to hove into view when I was following the above instructions.
Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: Triporteur on June 08, 2007, 07:32:01 AM
Hi Stuart, I can't remember the picture! But everything on my listings and on my websites is for sharing. I've been working hard to get as much obsolete info as possible into cyberspace in the hope that lots more folks will discover our vintage hobby.

Could someone PLEASE compile a how-it-do-it message for photo-uploads and add it as a sticky to the top of each forum category? Lots of photos on a specialist forum are like a fast gear-change in a Berkeley - everyone will want a look :)

Yes I agree. We will be having pictures of hotrods and custom cars next! I suppose it would be acceptable to do that sort of thing to an invalid carrage but not twenty grands worth of TG. Only joking Stuart. Will we be seeing your Mini Comtesse at Jeans? I rather fancy a short drive in one. If you have slipped a porche boxter engine in it by then that would be even better!
Title: customs and hotrods
Post by: Triporteur on June 20, 2007, 11:01:11 AM
That question again - as old as time itself - customizing rare vintage cars. Much has already been said on this subject of course; it's probably the most emotional subject arising in purist vintage car circles. And at risk of condemnation i will readily admit to liking both stock and customized vehicles. I think it would be boring if there were only vehicles around restored to the letter, and i think there is room for both styles.

While I'm researching the beginnings of three-wheelers, i keep wondering about those pioneer days, when folks tried out different engines in different frames and chassis, experimented with designs, built one-offs, prototypes - the results were the vintage cars we know today, and i suppose the modern ones too.

Whether working away in the lock-up restoring to standard spec or trying out variations on original designs, it reminds me of those days. We all have to make parts from scratch, remanufacture body panels, and modify where necessary - because some original designs did not run for long enough for the makers to upgrade inherent faults. So, to a degree, are we all customizers?

Now that's put the cat among the pigeons...

To take one of the finest things to come out of Germany.....  And to bung its engine in a Messeschmitt eh Bob, such sacrillige.   ;D

 Of things elsewhere, the Mini-Comtesse WILL be at the farm on July 29th. Whisper it quiatly, but even Jean has hinted that she might like to take it for a trot! Further bookings for test-drives now being taken. Just mesuring it up for the Rover V8 transplat at this very moment.....  I think the Boxter-engined Comtesse must be the one on the title page of Denis's Microcarfan website, judging by the wheelie it's pulling.....

 And another thing! Why is it nobody goes much on my conveyaces, yet they go nuts on the Comtesse which is not unlike several conveyaces I could think of. Stick a Model 70 next to the Comtesse, or the Comtesse next to a Peel P50. There's no real differance....

Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: Bob Purton on June 20, 2007, 10:50:51 PM
I suppose Triporteur is right, Its just a matter of what interests an individual, personaly I just love restoring things as close to spec as possible, that way things are saved for prosterity. Im not against customising so long as the vehicle can be put back to original by a subsequent owner. A case in point is the popular KR200 honda spacey engine conversions that you see, most of them are built onto a rear subframe that can just be removed and returned to sachs power in the course of a mornings work. I wouldnt want one myself though, my philosophy is that if you dont like something about a classic vehicle ,sell it to someone who does and buy yourself something you do like , if you want the power of a V8 buy something with a V8 already in it. Still I would imagine that I am generaly preaching to the converted, surely RUMCARS is all about preserving rare micocars.

Your sure you did not auction it off at the end to the guy with dark glasses by the door winning it? Worth thousands.
Anyway despite that and Scoff I think we get the picture, as it were. This new laptop jobbie I have will just take a camera chip and deal with it. No more wires and pocking and prodding. Finally we are reaching machines that are somewhat integrated and it makes life a whole lot simpler. Not only simpler but with better capacity and imaging. For all the hype it took a long time to get there though and now I ought to have a new camera! For those in Britain I can recommend Morgan for really good bargain computer stuff ( a lot of it from America as it has their keyboard layout, I chose UK layout ). Bit like Richer Sounds are for Hi Fi stuff.

I caught up to it on the freeway while it was on its way to my house last Saturday, after purchasing it from the highest bidder at the Bruce Wiener auction.
Jim- apologies for my assumption.  Please enlighten me as to what was the purpose that you were serving by diligently manning a post behind what appeared to be a tripod mounted video camera during a large portion of the auction.

You are confusing me with someone else.  I had no tripod or video camera.
That is about all the enlightenment I can provide.

Post by: Big Al on June 16, 2013, 01:12:27 AM
Was it Jim helping to provide the by the lot feed to the watchers? I forget. Anyway that worked well. A video of the entire proceedings is perhaps beyond the call of duty but then so is watching over an hour of Milk Float clips and I do not recall that stopping us. We need to track down this Tripod fancier now or there will be unrest in the ranks, I fear.
Nice buy Steven, must be a story as to why it moved on so quick after the auction.
Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: steven mandell on June 16, 2013, 06:18:57 AM
Al may have gotten it right this time.  Perhaps Jim just happened to be standing behind a tripod mounted camera while arranging for the feed.
Auction companies typically video record the entire auction to memorialize the biddng process in case of a contested outcome.
With something like 9 million dollars changing hands, the need for such is obvious.
It might not be proper to reveal too many details, but at least I can say that after sweating it out the last four months, the high bidder proved to be both sympathetic to my passion for the car and a man of his word.

yep that worked then when i click on the pic itself it enlarges a bit , or better still if i click on it's title it is bigger still and i can blow it up more AND MORE - notice my dinosaur terms

Okay, if you want to attach an image to your post, and use the built forum uploader to do so, here is how you do it step by step. This is using a windows based pc, I assume a mac or linux machine is similar.

I have circled the steps in red. Here I am uploading a picture of a certain iconic model submarine I am building from the 1960's.  :)

First of all click on  where it says 'Attachments and other options'-



Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: AndyL on October 26, 2014, 07:53:03 PM
Next click the 'Browse' icon circled in red.

Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: AndyL on October 26, 2014, 07:55:15 PM
A window will open up allowing you to browse your computer. i usually drag the image I want to post onto my desktop, and navigate to there, where it's easy to find, however it can be any folder you choose.

Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: AndyL on October 26, 2014, 07:58:39 PM
Click on the picture you want, in this case 'yello', ensuring it's in the correct format e.g. jpg, gif or png and also that it's under 8000kB in size.

Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: AndyL on October 26, 2014, 07:59:54 PM
Having selected the picture, click on 'open'.

Title: Re: How to post pictures!
Post by: AndyL on October 26, 2014, 08:01:55 PM
The window will close and you will be back to the reply window, but if you look further down, you will see under attachments the name of the file you have attached. this will appear at the bottom of your post once you click post.
