Thus far i have asked 4 people how to post more then one pic in a single post. Nobody has bothered to reply. If the consensus is that one thread would be better, then that is how i shall do it in future. So what say ye all?

:grouchy:
 
I'd prefer that you keep separate threads for individual pictures. Main reason, is that Dial-up users would have to load every single picture every time you add a new one.

I can help ya Mike.

To post multiple pictures in a single post, right-click on the image, then click 'properties' at the bottom of right-click menu. What that will do is show details of the picture. You should find towards the middle of the page, a web addess (ie http://www. etc). Copy all of the address into your post on GTP, then wrap it in [.img] and [./img] tags (minus the period). You can do this with multiple images so that you do not have to post lots of times. It's useful for if you want to post all your images without someone replying in between.

Have phun. :)

the only drawback to that is you're basically snagging it off someone else's bandwidth. As soon as they change that picture, the image here changes.

We've had a few serious issues pop-up like that a few times. A webmaster can track where his images are located, and if he finds someone loading his images he can edit those images. Scary things show up without warning.

Hmm.💡

Well thats also a good point. Usually i download the pic first, then post it. I dont want stuff appearing that i didnt intend, so i think it may be better to just stick to thread on on subject for dial-up users. You forget what it is like when you are using a high speed line.....
