Picture upload

Post by haasad »

I know I'm a luddite but I am so poor at PC work its unreal. I really want to share my 911r homage with you guys but always get frustrated with picture uploads. I was looking at Pelican last night trying to solve a master cylinder fitting problem and used their picture upload facility. It allowed me to search my desktop for the appropriate image and upload it directly . It was auto sized and on the board in a split second . Could the DDK site have a similiar function incorporated?

Takes too much space up on the server and this way the forum works more efficiently. Photobucket is just as simple - give it a try - details at the top of most forums on here.

Helen - you can !


However, when you copy the URL, only copy it as far as the .jpg - eg in your example above, leave out the final v=0

then you'll see the image:
