I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Chillidog for meeting up with me today and calming my nerves! We had a great run out to a country pub, and I really got the feel for it whilst following Chilli's lead. Oh how the heads turned when they saw not one but 2 Nobles.

Look forward to meeting up again Richard, Thanks. GN

I love my new car.

Sort out a fogango account first and upload some images, then mail me and I will run you through it.

Didn't work the 1st time I did it, but did the 2nd.???? odd.

Reduce the image size to about 200-500k bytes 1st or it takes an age to upload. Oh, and don't even bother if your on dail up.

Webshots have a bit of logic that stops you doing what you are trying to do.

Basically it sees if the "calling" page that the image is in is a webshots web page, and if it isn't it doesn't serve the image.

If you just look at the image (e.g. by clicking on this link)
http://image18.webshots.com/18/5/63/86/204456386DAuIPP_ph.jpg
and then come back your web browser will show that it's there as it has "cached" the image. However, when you 'refresh' the page, or wait a little while, the image will become uncached and webshots will stop serving it.

Either get yourself some webspace and just upload the images directly, or you'll need to find one of the packages that allows you to link from other pages.

Joust, that really went straight over my head, but then I hav just been out for dinner and had a bottle of wine.


For the record, I can see the photo now. No idea how or why, as it was not there earlier.

Rob, it looks awesome except for the fact that your butts on fire.

Still a small box with a cross on my screen.
Not having had a bottle of wine (yet) what Joust says makes good sense, although quite why you can view the picture now, but not before, is beyond me.
Joust, I was 'Forbidden' to view your piccie so thanks to Webshots for that. Might try Fandango.com (or whatever)
'Butts on fire' sounds a good title for a song, but this was just a case of flame on over-run changing down at Melbourne (Donny) -all of which won't mean a damn thing to those viewing the box'n cross!
