Many of you will be aware that I have been struggling to provide photos of some of the problem areas that formed part of recent postings. Paul 968 helped by posting for me some photos of the bad helicoiling recently - but I wanted to show a few more and have tried to set up an msn site to host them. Try as I might I cannot get it to upload the photos so I have put them in a Word document and did manage to upload that.

The site is accessed through http://groups.msn.com/Porschedissaste

Yes I know the spelling is wrong - that was to avoid general searches finding it.

I hope you find it interesting and then in future I can post pictures there if they refer to issues arising on this forum (assuming it actually works - which is by no means certain!)

Thanks 911 wise - but it does actually work if you click on the web site above - you can see a range of pictures and explanations.

Thanks chaps - I tried a few suggestions. tinypic got as far as the folder with the pictures in that I wanted to select but then would not open the folder to select individual pictures.

Photobucket DID allow mw to open the photos and save them in a photobucket account (where they now sit looking at me and wondering what to do next) but then I couldn't work out how to post them into a current "reply" to pistonheads - how do I do it please CharlesW?

I do struggle with computers - sorry - I guess most people who use internet forums are naturally comfortable with computers - or they would not use them - I am not - I think because the logic is not tangible like engine parts - but for some of you to just say - its easy - can I say in my defence (that I am not a complete arse) I find it easy to strip and rebuild a 996 engine, or a gearbox, or jig bore a housing to 0.005 mm - want to have a go?

Thanks for the support - but look what I don't understand is - I am in say the pistonheads "reply" box and about to type in words - I cannot find any symbol that allows me to go off and input a photo (or whatever) and then allow me to go back and carry on typing.

Please talk me through someone!
