Hi, it looks like you have just copied the location on your computers hard drive... afraid that won't work for anyone who isn't connected on a network to your computer..

Thanks Alan. Back to the drawing board.

If you can reduce the file size to 8mb then you can upload straight to the forum.

I take photos with my iPhone (not sure how many megapixels that is) but I open them up in paint, reduce their size by about 60%, save the file again and they are the right file size to be opened on the forum. The old photobucket system worked well but they wanted to start charging people for its use (fair I guess) and it puts people off, not only that, you either need to pay photo bucket or use a plug-in on firefox to view them.

postimages.org is free and works well. The only trick is to copy the direct link instead of thumbnails for forums. Once the direct link is copied just past into the insert image control.
