G'Day Paul

I've noticed the links aren't working inline over the past few days too when I'm sure they were before, I suspect there's a forum setting that's been changed

Welcome to the forum Paul. I'm sure one of the admins will help you with your problem.

I am a newbie as well so not really up to speed yet but what I found in the middle of the server move you might see mentioned is that you have to access the "Manage Attachments" twice. First to select and upload pics and second to insert them after uploaded. I don't know if this is what is meant to happen but right in the middle of the move I posted on trailer building thread that I had got the problem sorted, but they still didn't appear!!! They were lost in the move this time. All future attempts worked.

Found a pic to try that is sort of relevant. It is me and oxy set (propane) taken from bathroom which is being renovated. I am in laundry which is next. I was doing the plumbing in the wall without covering. Bathroom side is covered now, just.

Click on paperclip Icon at top or scroll down and click on "Manage Attachments" button. In Manage Attachments window browse to find file. Click on upload and wait for completion. I guess this part you know. File should appear in "Current Attachments" area with its size. Close the window.

Now I am in trouble!! I have followed this process as I typed and it is working different to previous tries. Maybe the issue is how you close the "Manage Attachments" window. I closed with the "Close Window" button this time. Maybe used the the cross before and that was different. My upload shows up in the preview already, but it did that to me before. What was me making a mistake and what was the server move doing to my posts. I don't know. I will submit as is and see if pic appears

Sometimes the pictures are not stored on the forum but somewhere else such as photo bucket and you have to click on those links to view those particular pics. You should see the ones that are uploaded to this website though and all you need to do is click on the pic to go to a larger view of it usually.

Now I have NO idea. I think Andrew may be right. Anyway few pictures if any are pasted into posts due to download constraints time etc. That gives you choice whether to view them or not.

I am outside that 98% of population area of telstra's and do not get mobile coverage or ADSL of any kind. I am stuck on a 1Gig up/download(Peak Time) per month and so I am pleased pictures are not embedded into posts. This forum already seems to be knocking a hole in my data limit.

Sorry to be no help what so ever.
