I beg to differ, I see no way to insert pics into the text at appropriate intervals and max Kb's is too small to be useful.

just how I see it.

Make an account on http://pics.ww.com (http://pics.ww.com) then upload photos and link them in from there.

Automatically makes versions proper for furums as well as keeps any original full size photos.

Open your photo in the browser, copy the location. paste it in here, select it with your mouse, click the icon above the smileys above this text area and it will show up right where you pasted in the location. Like this:

And This:

The photos have nothing to do with this thread just easy to remember for me.

Then why did you two not say off board hosting of Pics is preferred and to encourage you we have made it hard to place them in a your post if you don't.

Your first pic sounds like good advice Tom.

http://www.anotherpower.com/gallery/   works to. It creates multiple image sizes as well as keeping the original.
However the attaching of images should work now.

there is an addon for smf that allowed the images that are uploaded to be handled better. I was looking into it the day of install. but obviously I didnt get it added

It should work now.. be sure to use the drop down menu to choose how to display. hint.. using anything but the default allows you to manipulate image placement in you post at any time even modifying

OK, links clearly work. Lets try a direct uploaded attachment....

Both worked fine. That is a picture of one of my friends, David, who was up at my place to see in the new year.
At midnight we all watched the fireworks - both the legal, city-sponsored fireworks at the showground, and the dozens of (in many cases even more spectacular) illegal private fireworks displays around the area.

After that, David fired up the bagpipes and we disturbed the neighbours for a while longer - then my daughter (side-drummer from a couple of other pipe and drum bands) and he played merry hell for a while. A good time was had by all.

OK. The image I showed was a "wind-powered device".
It works by blowing in it.
I suppose you'll make the same claim? :)

Be aware I have seen a few of those...


They have a limited warranty if you purchase one :)

Solar panels warranties typically far exceed it.

(This has been a consumer notification)

What about maintenance cost after the warranty runs out?   ;D
