How to download pictures

[jonnyporsche]

Being new to the forum I would like advise on how to download some pictures of my car. Thanks

Hi John,

Host them somewhere like photobucket. Each picture will then have a direct link to copy and paste here.

Click the little icon on the far right of the toolbar that looks like a yellow postcard, copy the link there and it should post the picture.

Different browsers do change the forum icons.

Bear in mind that after I push the "on" button I've no idea how a computer works, but I understand that the fairly old forum platform doesn't perform the same on the different modern browsers. I use firefox and it's not changed at all.

That might be why I'm having trouble understanding how to download pictures. Still need help.

As Paul says get a Photobucket account upload your pictures there, then hover the cursor over the picture there and copy the bottom link (IMG code), then in the message window click on the "image" button above which puts up "

" then paste the copied IMG code directly after.

Ive left the G out of the IMG above so it doesnt show the pic for this purpose.

With the G back in!

Hope that helps - want to see the pics[]

Anyone know the car?

 

[Mike_Pollock]

Result -and although I don't know the car it looks great especially in white with the vented nose.- love it!

 

[jonnyporsche]

Thanks again Mike. They do look well in white don't they.

I've had two, my old square dash has only moved a mile , and there's an S2 lives in the next close - all white around here - my wife has to check what colour wheels to see who it is!
