Hi All,

Can anyone help me please. It would be useful if I was able to attach photos to my posts from time to time especially when asking for advice with bike parts etc.

I have looked and I cannot find out how to add pics.....is it easy? if so can someone please explain how?

Thanks in advance.

    Sign up to Flickr here http://www.flickr.com/

    Upload your pictures to Flickr

    Get the link for the picture from Flickr

    use the img (for image) tags that reside above the box where you write your message, insert the one,%20then%20paste%20the%20link%20to%20your%20picture,%20then%20close%20it%20with%20the tag

    I have to say it would be useful having the ability to upload pictures directly. It would also stop hotlinking which I have noticed once or twice.

    I am sure phpBB has the function to allow this and probably can even be set up to limit sizes etc.

    I do not have a photobucket, flickr, etc account and am not about to set one up just so I can post the occasional picture here. It is a pity.
