Just curious as to how you get a picture of your car at the base of your post ? Either a picture or a photobucket slideshow ?

It's not too difficult, heres a hand for you.

1: apply for some free space on the web and store your pictures there

2: add the following to your post or better still your signature

Code: Select all

[img]http://the.place.on.the.web.where.the.picture.is[/img]
copy and paste from that blue box and adjust the web address to that of your picture/banner etc

hope that helps

Hi, I tried that and it appeared to work ok, but the picture was huge and although I tried to reduce it in size and even reduced it in photobucket it still came out large. Any ideas ? Maybe I'am doing something wrong. How do you get the slideshow as well as I have a small one in photobucket working perfect, but just can't figure out how to operate it properly.

Save your photos to your computer as 'small jpeg' (e-mail size). Then upload then to photobucket...its should work out fine (within the page size) when you [img]photo/s[/img] to here.

Does this work ??? I had to input them manuallyas I'am not sure it worked in the signature box thing. Are those photos too small or just right as I was afraid of making them too big which might cause problems.

A little large (not by much, the first photo is perfect) but that works fine,

the resize on the righthand image is a little poor if you need a hand with better software to do it feel free to pm me and I can shrink it down for you

adding to signature .... select profile from top of this page, type the text into the sig box and save (although it does wrap poorly so it feels a bit blind typing at times but it should come out ok in a post)

Hi, I see it now. I'll have another go at sizing the pictures and give it another go later. What the code for a photobucket slideshow does anyone know ?

Starchild, if your struggling I'll do what I did for Steve8009 and host it for you, I have acres of webspace so plenty of room for another small sig pic. Email me the pic you want and I'll send you the code to add to your signature text box ;)

You copied the address of the web page rather than the image itself (try right-clicking on the image and selecting "copy image address" or similar), plus you'll probably want to make it smaller than that if it's for a signature.
