Hello All.
Probably this has been done to death but I can't attach a photo unless I am in the project diary section of the website. Attach a time is at the foot of the page but this option appears nowhere else.
Can anybody give me idiot proof instructions?
I have tried both on a laptop and tablet.
Thanks
A

in the line near the top of most pages it gives:
U2U | Member List | Search | Photo Archive | Chat | Links | Shop
select photo archive, which links to
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php
then select upload new photo "browse"...
best to name photos prefixed with your username as the name has to be unique over the whole site.

It's really easy!!!

On the picture page see the Forum Code box. Just copy the information out of that into the post you want the picture to appear in

Take the space out and you get

Tinypic is pretty easy - and you don't have to sign up. No idea where your photo goes once uploaded, so maybe don't upload anything valuable, but it is quick and easy and gives you a forum-compatible link straight away. Just copy the entire link (the one marked IMG code for forums and message boards) and and paste it into your reply - no need to use the picture tool or add any code.
