UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi Josh, i've got some new pics of the motor, but i can't work out how to post and set one as my signature. there saved as JPEG, BMP and PCX. any help would be great

You need to upload the photos to a free photo hosting site, then link to them...

Try http://www.picturetrail.com

Then use the IMG link when posting on the forum, and link it to a picture on picturetrail... ie... www.picturtrail.com/karlscar/picture1.jpg

You get the picture?

okay, that didn't work! lets try again!

right, i've uploaded the photo's onto www.picturetrail.com, and i've got the URL address (by right clicking, then selecting 'properties' from the drop down menu), but all i'm getting are these little s**t boxes with crosses in them. Please tell me what i'm doing wrong!

right, i'm trying one last time before i go to bed and cry myself to sleep

What about this...

Right, now i'm confused, what did you do to make it work!

Karl

Just roll your mouse over the Img box below the subject line when you're writing a message and you'll see how to do it...

Replace ( with [ and ) with ]...

Do (img)http://image_url(/img)

ie... (img)http://www.picturtrail.com/karlscar/picture1.jpg(/img)

Remember to replace the ('s with ['s etc and the line above will work

Right, done that, lets try again.

Karl...

Re-read what I put...

You've almost done it right...

Replace the "(" and ")" symbols with "[" and "]" symbols and you're there...

[ is next to P on your keyboard

Good Luck!

Any ideas?

I spoke to someone at picture trail and they said i might be experiencing probs becuse they move there pictures around to make more space, so the url changes, but this is off the jbs site.

if you want there are other hosts available you could also try
http://www.printroom.com
http://www.image-station.com
http://www.tuners-wanted.org
if you use the image station link they add .orig.jpg to the url which you must remove
