Hi all,

I have been onn my p.c for 12 mnths now so i'm getting there but don't know all the jargon.

I would be very gratefull for any help as i know this has been asked a number of times and i apologise in advance for asking again.

First thing you need to do is upload your digital pictures to a hosting site. Turbosport is very popular. You need to subscribe to Turbosport to upload pics - but there is no cost involved.

Once the picture is uploaded, the hosting site will give you a unique picture reference in the form of an http address.

Then open a new thread or reply to an existing thread. In the message block, cut and paste the unique http reference for your picture and add image tags [ img ] and [ /img ]to either end of the http reference (some upload sites will format this address with the image tags in place). Your post should look something like this:

[img ]http://www.uploadsite/pictures/yourpicture[/img ]

Image tags should NOT have spaces in them - I've just done that for you to see how they should look. Click on 'Edit' of this post and you'll see the image tags.

Also have a look at the BBS Code Syntax link to the left of the message box when typing a reply for more info.

What you should get is:

i'm in the same boat mate anyway when you say cut and paste what do you mean by cut, does this mean resize the pictures and if so what size should they be ???

Thanks in advance

keep your pics to 640X480 max so they fit on the screen with out scrolling. once youve uploaded to turbosport copy and paste the link into the reply box on scoobynet. Press the edit button on the above reply to see how !

I think Copy is praps a better word to use, I know it does the same thing but it does say Copy

Basically you just highlight the text with the [] things, right click on it, select copy.

Open the reply window, click in it. Right click, paste.... jobs a gud un

Sorry forgot to blank out the number plate. Does this HAVE to be done or is it just advisable.

Numberplate is up to you.

I don't bother but it depends on whether it might be advantageous for someone to know either where you were or are.
