I read the instructions for posting a pic but I don't have a website address? Can you explain this a bit more?

thankyou

Yeh OK, I've done the photo bucket thing. Thought I might be able to send a pic without signing up to yet another 'account' with it's associated passwords and usernames etc etc well it solves a problem...

 

[Rudi]

Having put a pic in my question I didn't realise the image would be inline, I thought it would be a link people had to go to. Works well... thanks

Use the same username and password for everything, then theres no probs with having to remember them all. Some request your email adress to log in, which is obviously easier. I have my bank cards with all the same PIN number, saves embarrasment with cards declining etc.

I know you have,but there isn't enough money in your accounts to make it worth my while raiding them Can't you save more?

You're obviously thinking of the wrong person there, John!

I have tried the photobucket thing and it wont upload my diagram. I have converted the diagam to JPG and resized but it still wont upload. Is there any other way to do this. Why cant we just copy and paste or at least maybe add attachment as you do when you send and email?

What aweful advice! If you do do that, certainly don't broadcast it to anyone.

It's not unheard of for people running forums to try your username/password combination elsewhere - your photobucket account is probably meaningless, but your bank account, your amazon account, your ebay account ... I'm not saying the admins at this forum would, or do, do that, but don't assume things are safe.

Here is some ideas for choosing passwords you won't forget

Very good point. I actually stole Crafty's favourite PIN because he used it on the combination of his gym locker, from where I also borrowed his wallet and credit cards while he was in the sauna, and got them back before he missed them

Unfortunately he has no little money that it was not worth my while raiding his accounts

I find the best way to remember my password is to use anagram letters of your full name.

I thought the post was about 'posting a pic' why are we discussing passwords.

So, why cant you just copy and paste or is there another way to post a pic or diagram besides Photobucket???

There are a couple of recent threads about posting pictures;

The standard editor on the forum can only accept text, so you can't just copy/paste a picture in as if it was word. You need to create a special piece of text which gets converted into a picture - the upload websites like photobucket and imageshack provide this text for you to copy/paste.
