You can use a site such as Photobucket to host the photos and then copy the img link into this thread.

Thanks mark, i wanted to upload them so they display on my post, but if all else fails thats the way i'll go

Easiest way is to use Dropbox:

Click here to download

Install on your computer (create an account when asked) and you will have 2Gb free storage.
Drop your picture file into the Public folder in your dropbox and then right click on your file and click "Copy Public Link".
Just paste this into your message on the forum and hey presto!

Much easier than Photo Bucket IMHO.

The links work great (some nice pictures there).

If you want to imbed the image in your post then hit the IMG button when composing and paste the URL in-between the tags like this:

Code: Select all

If you are quick you can go back and edit that last post

These are the pics from the ebay listing i bought it from.

my first job will be to strip out the interior and prep it for welding.

i had a quick look underneath and the frame looks suprisingly clean and solid.

some of the welding has been done, but the sills, wings and rear archs still need sorting.

i'll take more pics once i get it stripped out

Thanks Colin, i'll give that a go now

[vanmanloki]

i'm thinking i've made a mistake some where because its just coming up ( X image )

I have both, but I prefer photobucket for photos, takes a little to get it set up
BUT you have to log in at least once every 3 months or the account goes into standby, a quick log in and starts again

Those URL's don't look right. This is one of mine:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5820407/van5.jpg

Just to confirm.

1. Open Dropbox folder on your computer
2. Go to Public Folder
3. Right click your picture in the Public Folder
4. Select 'Copy Public Link'
5. Paste into your message between the IMG tags.

That is what really p*ed me off about Photobucket! There are quite a lot of posts on here where the pics have gone AWOL because they are on Photobucket.
