So can I post a picture on the boards?

Yes:



Press the 'quote' button at the top of this post and you will see the code needed to wrap around the url (http: etc) to do so.

So I cannot use any pictures that are stored on my computer without uploading them to somewhere else first?

Yes.

It's annoying but if forums were to allow users to upload photos to the their servers they would be committing themselves to providing (and funding) almost unlimited amounts of space for said photos.

And don't forget size matters as we'll

Rule 8 (images)
(8a) All images posted should be hosted by yourself (click here to find out how to do this) to prevent copyright issues; otherwise please use a link and credit the copyright owner.

Images on the forum are subject to limits affecting both pixels and file sizes:
(8b) Avatars - Max size 150x150 pixels*, 150Kb
(8c) Signatures - Text: max 5 lines / Image: max size 80x500 pixels, 100Kb
Combination of text & image allowed, but image must reduce in size to accommodate text
() Images within a post - Max size should ideally be around 800x500 pixels*, 300Kb*

*= Proboard's default maximum *= Images are automatically scaled to prevent page stretch issues, however we do prefer that you post images within the limits stated so that your image is viewed at its best across all internet enabled devices.

Blimey, when was that picture of Westminster taken? It all looks a little different there these days, iirc.

Around 1990 I think. When I scanned the slide (bear in mind it probably hadn't been out of the box for over 20 years), I thought it was Sloane Square from the thumbnail preview.

I've never seen Westminster looking any different, but then I've not been through there for decades!

Seems like me and Bigal both have problems downloading pics to this site then, which is a bit of a pain as we worked together on the DR and both have interesting "inside" shots that are of interest; last days of steam at Lillie Bridge, and Bigal's pics inside Lillie Bridge...
