Posting pics on this site - just can't work it out??

[ianqv]

Dear All

I'm trying to post a link to show the weather for this coming Saturday.

So.......... the URL (i think it's called!!)is:
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/dayforecast.as...

So I have put my [pic] at the front and [/pic] at the end of it - but it won't display??

If there is anyone out there who can teach an old dog new tricks... it would be much appreciated!

Here is the url (underneath) with the boxs at each end... and this is what get displayed?!!

That url is for a page, not a picture.

[madbadger]

You need the url for the picture.

[DocJock]

Or just take the page, press 'Prt Sc' > paste into Paint > save as jpeg > upload and paste that url into your post with [ pic ] brackets.

Wouldn't he need to save the image to a host like photobucket first?

Yeah, that bit in bold isn't very clear, is it?

Apologies.

Just what we need, people posting 1280x1024 screenshots

Probably a topic for 'website feedback'.

Just above this thread there is one called " Picture posting guidelines".

Sorry, I didn't realise that you meant upload to a host

[Yellabelly]

Obviously DocJock has also not realised that firstly you have to upload it to a host before you can paste it into the thread,or does omitting that part count as being a clearly understood instruction!
