Si's going to Banjul or Bust, I am going to put a picture in the comments section or BUST
First question, is where do you browse from to get the very first instruction as in 2? to get this silly BBCODE, no count to 10 and stay calm 1, 2, 3, 4
Click on the thumbnail of the picture you want to view to view the picture then its near the bottom of the page
So to insert this picture:
Click on Gallery > Member Galleries > the picture above Martin > the picture again > then the actual picture you want to view and you'll see the BBCode on the pageThe End

I don't believe it as Victor Meldrew says.
I am dumbfounded, amased, gloriously pleased, thanks Si, I owe you a drink or something

Right, to post pictures from your Personal Gallery
First, switch to the gallery
Then select "Member Galleries"
If you can't see you on Page 1, switch to another page (BN you're on Page 2)
Click the picture above your username
Click on the picture corresponding to the album within your gallery the picture is in (BN you've only got one!)
Select the individual photo
This will then show the picture preview, with the BBCode section below it (along with the file size, dimensions, comments etc).
Then continue on from Step 2 above
Note: You can short-cut straight a picture from any "Recent Photos" or "Random Selection" list by clicking on it:

Martin, you are very needed, but I am learning. Just this last one for practice.
He is the popular Russian TV News Reader.

Martin, I found the guide useful. Thanks
One question though. If photos are included in the thread, do they increase the down-load time by much. Just a thought that if it's done too often those folk who don't have Broadband may get cheesed off if it slows things down too much.

Hi Coffeecup,
Having photos in-line in the thread obviously will increase the download time for a thread, but the text will usually load completely before the pictures, but I do appreciate that lots of photos will make the site totally unusable for dial-up users. So far everyone's being fairly sensible and using the galleries to store photos and then linking to them, or only posting a couple of photos per topic - good lads
Also there is a script in place on the site which reduces the filesize of photos posted on the forum to speed up downloads generally, and using the BBCode text from the Gallery will ensure that a reasonable sized photo appears instead of an enormous one.
But it is a good point - try not to post loads and loads of photos in a topic - instead link to a gallery directly (or say 'look in my gallery') instead

There you go then. I just get the hang of it and have to slow down already.

No, not at all, don't slow down, that's not what I meant - just be sensible (I know, tricky!) and try not to post 50 pictures on the forum in one go or something daft.
I'm very pleased you've sorted out posting pics at long last, must find you another challenge!

Martin... your asking BN to be sensible ??? Now you've met him are you being serious ?
BN... life's like that. As soon as you get used to something it damn well changes on you

OK, the first to post 50 photos, no I was only joking Simons, all of you. Martin no more challenges just yet, trying to get over Billing and finding that 10forcash is actually a really nice guy, great family too. Bit worried about that lump under his left arm and the leather straps around his chest though, it was not a magnum ice cream. Just joking '10'

Pleeeease don't put loads of photos in posts, I am often on-line via a mobile phone at 9600 bps
I can't afford hotels with broadband connections (well I won't be ripped off anyway)
Oh well, I need an excuse to get a new phone with faster connection.
