Title: Sweet cheap mod for back end :)
Post by: mk3miniturbo on 18 November 2005, 14:07

I have pictures, but have not worked out how to upload them. 

It cost me £2.50 off e-bay to change the rear number plate lights for wide angle white led capless bulbs.  They came from Hong Kong.

It gives off a really clean light. Takes about 5 minutes and your clear plastic covers dont melt with the heat of normal filament bulbs.

Looks sweet :)

if yu go to a hosting site like http://imageshack.us/ then all you have to do is click browse to find the pfile on your computer then click host, then it should come up with some web addresses for your newly hosted image, you want the bottom one which is "direct link to image" make note of the adress or simply copy it,then when posting type [img ] (without the gap) and then in here paste or type your image address then add[/img ] to the end (without the gap) and your picture should show itself after you post it

Just do the same for the golf pic as you did for the scooby.  :tongue: :laugh: :laugh:

Create an account on www.photobucket.com (it's free) and upload pics to this account, then copy and paste the third text field below your pic in your photobucket account and the pic will magically appear in your thread.  :wink:

For love nor money can I attatch the picture to my post (like with the golf and camper above)

Any one any ideas.

Thanks for the previous help.  As you can see I now have a picture of my golf on here.

Hoooooorraaahhhh

Seen the pic of your golf. Nice.  :cool:

For pics to attach to your posts you need to put a link in your profile, go to profile link above, then forum layout and then put the URL for a pic into your signature text box. You'll need to re-size it though otherwise the pic will be massive on all your posts.  :smiley:

^ Yup, and a pic in your sig. You're flying today kidder !  :tongue: :grin:

P.S. I think You've messed up your avatar though as it's showing a red cross.  :undecided: Or your avatar pic is too big, can only be 65 x 65 max.

Tried the Avatar but I think I need to create the right size file in photoshop.

Not quite there yet, but I can see how it all works now.

Won't take me long.  Thanks for all your help :)
