davie6711 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Hey, I kind of introduced myself on another bit but here I am now. I've had bikes since I was 16 and now at my advancing years like to assemble a motley collection of "bargains" or "it was too cheap, I had to have it" or other blatant lies. My preference is for 80's bikes but if it's a bargain, well.....what can a man do? I've already had some advice etc but am certainly enjoying my time here so far. I can't get pics to load from photo bucket and it's doing my head in! Is there an alternative to photo bucket that actually works? My latest acquisition is an 86 XJ750 Jap Import which basically looks like a UK Xj650 Turbo which has had the fuel injection junked and some carbs fitted. It's actually in fairly nice condition and guess what.....it was a bargain!

Moderator Airhead Posted January 4, 2013 Moderator Posted January 4, 2013 Greetinga davie and yeah were having all sorts of issues posting from photobucket and the 'big cheese' is missing!
davie6711 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Are there any alternatives to photo bucket?
Moderator Airhead Posted January 4, 2013 Moderator Posted January 4, 2013 right, I used photobucket there and got the usual image extension failure message the first time. so then I hit the 'More Reply Options' button, and went that route and it worked...try that way for now
davie6711 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 I now have a library of photo's. I click on the wee bit at the top right of the photo, looks like a sprocket and it gives me share, copy, edit, or move media and get media links. I do this and it gives me various codes which will copt on to the post but seems just gibberish. What you did was a lovely pic! Obviously i'm doing something wrong but what?
Moderator Airhead Posted January 4, 2013 Moderator Posted January 4, 2013 in photobucket select the picture you want to post, click next to the bottom field, the one that begins and ends with IMG...../IMG you will see it briefly say copied Paste into your post using the 'More Reply Options' for now
davie6711 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Do you guys see what I see? I couldn't see how to write anything but hey, who cares!
