Mark Mitchell has been working really hard on the picture 'issue' and it is now working really well.
The picture below has just been taken and uploaded straight from my camera without any adjustments. You can click on it and it will then show in your full screen.

Mark M is now working on the text colour issue and the gallery both of which he hopes to have sorted very soon.

Adrian - he has it, will get back to you.
Mick - as it says at bottom of post, Mark M is still working on the font colour issue, in the meantime you can manually change the font colour, as I have here using the font colour button above. Just highlight the text and click on the colour you want. Hope that helps for now.

P.S Have just noticed that your post is in white, so you obviously know this anyway

Hi Gill

Like the 'click on the photo' to get full screen image.
The opening page is great, with the Centurion and the photos scrolling across the screen.
I prefer the orange on the opening screen to the yellow on the forum.

I like to use my ipad to browse the forum. I sometimes have a problem viewing posts, when i try to scroll through a post the ipad keeps jumping back to the one i originally opened. This does not happen on all posts.

I have 'pinched' your 3D image of the Centurion, which is brilliant, for my desktop background and also for my mobile phone. Hope this is OK?

Question, can we now upload photos direct to the forum or do we still have to use an external site (like Photo Bucket)?

Best regards

Hi All
I have tried to find out how to load pictures onto postings on the forum and I am at a loss, please can I be directed to the right way to do it? If I have got it right, it is no longer neccessary to use an intermediary such as Photobucket?
Thanks for any advice.
Steve

Hi Steve,
You can upload photos directly from your pc to the site by using the "Browse" tab in the "Upload attachment" area at the bottom of the post text area.The "Browse" tab allows you to navigate your pc to were ever you have your photos stored, Highlight the photo you want and click on "Open",The file name will now appear next to the "Browse" tab. Next click on "Add the file" and "Posted attachments" will appear, Click "Place inline" and the photo reference appears in the text block. Job done !
I post my pictures at a maximum resolution of 800x600 as i think this is the largest allowed so you may have to resize your photos before attempting to follow any of the above.
The above sounds a little long winded but once you have done it a couple of times it becomes very easy.There my even be quicker ways of doing it but i have not found them yet.
Hope this of help
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve S,

Steve N's instructions are correct, you do not however need to re size the photos this will all be sorted automatically when you post them. Look forward to seeing you pics.

A quick test at a resolution of 3648x2736 (No resizing), it works but takes longer to load.

A big Thank you to all for the instructions and advice, it is quite straight forward once you know how it works! This photo makes me realise that an important area of weathering is how the crew's activities affect the tank's appearance.
Thanks again
Steve
