Superior knowledge!

[Brit_cars_rule]

Being part of a higher life form.....Scoobynet
I just thought I'd tell those who can't post pics how to do it.(I know most can do it!)
In you message just do it like this:

[pic]_urladdress_[/_pic]

Do this without the _

ie:



Don't slag me off......just trying to help....I wanna see more TVRs!

[MikeyT]

Don't know about the superior bit BCR, but I'll have a go as I often have trouble even seeing the pics on here.

My car:

Doesn't work

Think I've cocked the URL up somewhere.
Mind you, if you clcik, it'll work.

Too late now – I'll try again later.

[MikeyT]

adict, can't see the pic!

[tvradict]

I know! Don't know what happened! Like you said the URL works fine when you click!

Oooooo! hang on!

[tvradict]

[MikeyT]

for tvradict!

So what's the URL you're using to get that pic?

[manek]

Right-click on the pic, go to the properties option and it will tell you (if you're using Windows of course).

[tvradict]

click the link, then right click on the picture, a menu appears, go to properties at the bottom and this brings up the picture properties including the all inportant URL, just highlight it, copy it and paste it into the box between [pic] http://pics.fotango.com/pictures/0400093359_001P.jpg "> (i have put the spaces in for effect!)

Mikey, you've got a stonking car mate love the colour!

Thanks guys, but Macs don't use Windoze ...
also we've only got one button on the mouse!

Is there a mac expert in the house?

Thanks for the comments adict – it's Cooper Green, the picture doesn't do it justice. I think manek has the same colour too from memory.

I put this is and put "> at the end but it sort of defaults to the "more than sign. Aw bollox.

Still won't work.

I did my GCSE and A level computing on macs, let me see if I can remember....

try clicking and holding the mouse button, IIRC that brings up a menu! The menu is pretty much the same I think!

I must apologise for being confusing! When you write [pic]url"> there should be no spaces! There is something in Ted's code that changed the "> to a "> which I can't work out!!!

I find it impossible to put 'open bracket, forward slash, pic, close bracket – it just appears as "and then the more than sign which I can't find! If I open the pic in another window I can copy and paste the URL but I can't get it to appear OK in the this pistonheads message window after I've pressed 'submit reply'

Strange!

Still won't work.

Yup same colour -- mine looks fab but not as fab as yours since mine's covered in stone chips. A front end respray is seriously overdue!

[Brit_cars_rule]

Big cheer for me eh????
I was joking about the superior bit!
I have many good runs with TVR's......but I get my own back on the twisty bits!!!!

[JMorgan]

slash [pic] and no spaces and http:// in. Mac (wots a crash) hold button for a little while then choose properties at the bottom

[funkyboogalooo]

so there i was sunday morning due to walk the dog when i thought 'just check pistonheads'. 20 minutes later my brain is fried cos i cant embedd a pic.
which was nice.

[JMorgan]

Seeing as how my pic buggered up my words, I left the / out of the last "> and no spaces and put the http:// in

[JMorgan]

Sod it. why does [ / p i c ] come up as "> ?
