mike1949 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Help me. I would like to produce some photo's on my topic but I haven't a clue how to, bearing in mind I am 60 years old. My kids don't seem to want to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 29, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2009 Hi Mike, Firstly you need somewhere on the web to host your pictures. If you have your own web space, great. If not you will need to join a free one like photobucket.com. You put your pictures on photobucket and then link to them using the Insert image logo at the top of where you type in your posts. you then add the pictures to your post by putting in the web address something like http://www.photobucket.com/blah/xxx.jpg It sounds harder than it is. Get the photobucket thing sorted and your pictures on there and come back and ask again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted May 29, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ok the first thing is to get your photos on the web somewhere. They will not work if they are just on your pc. you need to upload them using a site like photobucket where they can be viewed. So open a photobucket account and follow the instructions there to get a single picture on that you can view online but not via this site. Once you have done that come back if that is Ok?

JimR Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 And yet I still uncovered it and went to work on it. And so did I that day/week ( I must admit I used the Vespa) but as the HGV's could not be driven I was home (via the Vespa) just after nine ... but I did drive down the very steep hill and wobbled up it !!!

mike1949 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 The most annoying part was that I live 6 miles from work, I got to within 50 feet and stopped to push it around the last corner which was treacherous, I must have been doing only about 3 mph but as soon as I touched the front brake the bike just collapsed under me causing about £60.00 worth of damage, (new indicator and mirror).
