If you hit reply a window will come up, at the top there are icons, to the right in the middle row is the pic upload button, it's between the flag and the f in a red circle.

Click that, it will come up with another window, select the file path and click send to server, then ok.

PS you need to resize most photos, I find if you open it in paint and resize to 20% it normally works ok.

I'll test one on the new system.

Yep, I mainly build WW1 stuff, mainly 1/4 scale, but I have a few WW2 birds, working on a 3m w/s HS129 now.

Sorry Steve, off topic, just grabbed a fav pic.

Steve if you want me to talk you through the photo process give me a ring on 0447 354 759

If we want to talk planes I think PM would be better, I don't want to hijack this Gembrook thread.

Hi Steve, sorry I wasn't much help on the phone with Mac's it's totally different.

Try this to resize the photo's, that should solve your problem.

Steve, is a little difficult, but once you have done it once, it is quite easy.

1. when you reply, hit the 'image' button, (next to red f thing)

2. Hit upload.

3. Hit 'browse' and pick the picture from relevant folder.

4. Then hit 'send to server'.

5. After a short whil pic will come up and on the left will be pic size; usually 1600.

6. delete the 1 then hit ok.

then hit ' post reply' and pic will come up.

 

Shame to hear you had a few dramas on your trip, but main thing is that everyone is ok.

Bloody Hell Danny, you are a positive person!!

If I flipped my rig there is no way I would say what a great day. Glad you are all OK, possessions can be replaced.

If you think they will write it off you might think about pulling off some accessories, winch etc.

How did you do that? When you reversed were you trying to get out of the ruts to take a different line?
