Been tryiny to add some pictures to a write up but i keep failing..

If i go to attach it to the actual thread it says the file is too large (self explanatory i know)..

So i've signed up for Flicker, but still can't suss out how to post up any actual pics on the thread!!

On flickr next to each picture you should have an icon of an arrow coming out of a box.

click on that and then grab the BBM code

paste that into here

The code your looking for is [img]http:/...............[/img]

Thanks Chew! :-bd

I've had to swap browsers, but now i'm on it like a car bonnet!!

Couple more questions though-

Do i Embed or HTML?

Link, HTML or BBCode?

What size is best to use (resolution)?

I just use the default for sizing

Done! X_X

Had to mess about a bit to get the sizing something like (some may even still be a bit big)..

Some of that looks familier Mart, i'll give that a go next time..

Thanks again for your help :-bd
