hi could could someone please tell me how to do this. the help simply says use the upload button on the page but there is no upload button. i have uploaded the photo to the photo gallery but what next?

upload the photo into your album....

using the photo album link above.

then copy the link form the uploaded pic.

eg

http://locostbuilders.co.uk/gallery/phot77o.JPG

then use the pic link above (the one with the mountain in yellow)

add the link into that box (it may say temperary allow script) if it does just click the yellow banner at the top of the screen then oprn box again and paste in the link.

then you will see the pic like below.

If its in your photo archive on ths site, then underneath the photo in the archive is a bit of code that looks like [pg]filename[/pg ]

Copy and paste this in to the message box when posting and it will do a nice little thumbnail like this:

i have uploaded photos to my picture gallery and looking in the gallery there is a 'foum code' below each picture.

so i 'start a new topic' - what precisely do i click on in that page to include the pciture within the post?

What 'photo album link'?- i see a link on the page left once the post has been made - thats all?

then copy the link form the uploaded pic.

eg

http://locostbuilders.co.uk/gallery/phot77o.JPG

then use the pic link above (the one with the mountain in yellow)


what mountain in yellow do you mean?

add the link into that box (it may say temperary allow script) if it does just click the yellow banner at the top of the screen then oprn box again and paste in the link.

into what box - sorry i cant follow what you mean

then you will see the pic like below.

no, don't follow josseys post, thats the old way, and a bit more complicated now. look at what me and miks said, its easier for beginners. copy the forum code under the photo, ie [pg]123456[/pg] and paste that in your post

yep as blake says, so for the picture in your archive there is this code underneath the photo: [pg]78643[/pgX] (but without the X in.

If you then copy and paste that in without the X you get :
