Someone using the picture

of my car to sell his car on classified

See www.pistonheads.com/sales/113530.htm and picture of car on my profile.

Is this allowed?

It shouldn't be!!! He is being dishonest and mis-representing what he is selling by saying "Here we have MY trustworthy golf gti 8 valve." I suspect someone (Ted) will take some action now that you have highlighted it.

Ok I've set it so it shouldn't appear in the ads list anymore (but the link above still works). When Ted sees this he'll deal with it.

On the subject of pix, I've entered links to pix of my cars in the members profile my cars section, but can't see how anyone can actually view them (me included) anyone know what I've done wrong?

Hi!
The link you have used in your profile is;

ww.pistonheads.com/members/ww.bellefrance.fr/photo/1/kpe1993.jpg (but with 3 x w's rather than 2)

which as you can see is a mix up of 2 web addresses (which is why you are unable to see them).

Ah ha I've just found something else. I think it's because your web extension has .fr in it, rather than a dot com or something like that. The image it links to works. I've fudged the URL using tinyurl and you can see it works;


so you can save the picture to your hard disk, then upload the picture in the upload section of the members cars bit (i.e. point to it on your hard drive) and you will then get a pistonheads linked picture, OR....change the url using tinyurl.com (i.e. just enter your .fr link to the pic, and then enter that into tiny url, and then copy/paste the tinyurl into your mycar page)

Hope that makes sense
Tony
