    [​IMG] to GC Owen... You will find plenty to look at on here.. Hope you have sorted you photos now.. You can use Tinypic.com or photobucket.com as hosts or you can upload to your album from GC.. All are quite straight forward.. Please remember the maximum size for posting photos on here is 800x500.. Happy posting.. :thmb:

    If for instance you go to Photobucket.com you can set the size of 800x500 photosize then upload a photo from your PC.
    When uploaded there are 4 codes underneath the photo. Usually the image code is the one that works for allot of people for posting..
    So have 2 windows open.. GC & Photobucket..
    So start a thread or post a reply on GC.
    Then when you want to add your photos. Open another window with your photobucket photos on. Copy the image URL from under the photo.
    Go back to your GC page & your thread & click the icon in the tool bar above the box that looks a bit like a stamped envelope.
    A box will pop up.. Get rid of the existing http in the box & paste your URL in there.
    Click OK & your photo is entered..
    Click preview to see your post.. (if you want to prieview a post when replying always use the advanced button)
    If all is well then post your thread.. Hope that helps.. Or use Tinypic...

    Note.. This is quite a good way to go, using a host, as once uploaded to them you can store the original photo wherever you like. Even if you delete it from your pc completely it will still be in you photobucket or tinypic account until you delete it.. :wink:
    :scratch: Robert..?
