Can someone suggest how to add pictures? I have a spare part, want to ask what it is...but a picture will probably be fastest. Thanks!

Hi Tom. First, the picture has to be on the internet somewhere, adressable by a URL.

Then just hit the image button (yellow box with a mountain in it, in the editor toolbar) and paste the url of the picture into the box that appears.

You can open a personal image account on photobucket and then get the link to the image.

Or join Team Camaro as a paying member and you get to host your photos on this site which then displays in your text when needed.

Jim I need more justification. My stuff is on my site and that's a pain to post but it works for the guys here and I don't have to pay. Sure, paying helps support the site, but lordy, so do guys like me. I'd sure like to just be able to point to a file on my hard drive like I do on another favorite site.:yes: Maybe you can talk to the boss?

I have my own web server/domain.. kakariki.net
in my root directory I have a folder "camaro" there I put my pic(s)
like this www.kakariki.net/camaro/
So to add a pc to a post I use http://www.kakariki.net/camaro/BeauRep.jpg
Rather than add the url as above, hit the img button put the url in the add and it comes out like this
http://www.kakariki.net/camaro/BeauRep.jpg

Now IF you site has issues of hotlinking/BW theft as kakariki.net does, and u are on an apache server u can block hot linking using the htaccess file...but the htaccess file effects all folders below where u put it, so dont use in the root directory, put in directories either side of your "camaro " folder.
This is the code

hotlinkban.jpg is the small kb sized "hotlinking not alloed" image that appears instead of the hotlinked image.

Note, if you want to get ambisuous and want to add a link to the "hotinking not allowed image"..It can be done for some http web sites but not for most php...Do not do it.
Many servers/portal will block or even ban ips doing this...not because of u adding the link, but because this is also a method of running hacking scripts on a web site...by adding a = http : // (without spaces) in the middle of the request to your site.

This can be done on IIS severs but I believe it is a bit more complex

I know this is a bit of information overload...but I know many here run their own web sites and may be interested.
Check your access file ..requests for // in the middle of the url at the end a txt file or similar, these are script hacking attempts....in 5 yrs we have been taken down a couple times by these till I upped security with
# BLOCK DOUBLE SLASH script hack
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
redirectmatch 403 =http%
redirectmatch 403 http://
redirectmatch 403 https://
redirectmatch 403 ftp://
</IfModule>
