Anybody care to share how i can upload an image onto the threads, all i seem to get when i eneter the URL is a little triangle logo, and no image

Click IMG.

Paste the url. Should end in like .jpg or something.

Press ok.

Post.

can you see this image?

No. Maybe you’re using a bad url. Try doing it with this

http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae174/HmmmBeee/Image0235.jpg

As a rule the url should start with http:// and end with .jpg or .png or .gif etc.

its a link off flickr, photo sharing

Does it end in .jpg?

I didn’t literally spend seconds writing this so it could be ignored by lazy gimps…

Flickr

Flickr follows the same rules as above but they have added a button to retrieve the BBcode.

Find the photo you want on flickr
Above the photo there are two boxes “actions” and “share this (three icons; twitter, facebook and an envelope)”
Drop the menu in “share this”
See “grab the HTML/BBCode” and click.
See two buttons below the script, “HTML” “BBCode”
Check “BBCode”
Paste this code into the Singletrack forum post box

Was the Help button disabled lastnight?
😉

It works, just like that :-

456SS from the side. by Hairychested, on Flickr

Except the file seems to have been corrupted. The chain has been edited out and it’s done something weird to your forks.

Now embedding video – can’t do that for love nor money.

Once you get used to STW you’ll know the more wrong the bike the more right it is 😉
The chain taken off – it’s annual clean taking place. And the forks are perfect. I suppose the 36 Floats would be better but with the mud here rigid ones are more practical. BTW Have you ridden a rigid bike? Great fun 🙂

Am old enough to have spent years riding/racing when that was all that was available. Never felt the urge to go back…..

My mud bike (alfine hub geared 29er, so plenty wrong for the stw massive) has a pair of old rebas up front that I sacrifice to the mud gods every couple of years.

To a degree I wish I needed suspension here, but I don’t. What’s more I’m fixing money for a SS frame that will be rigid so the 456SS can be jay-core LT HT.
Regarding your original stuff, the video (uploaded onto YouTube ideally) has its own URL (copy the address bar http……. thingy). You need to click the “video” button on the forum, then paste the URL, then press ENTER or click “video” again. I can’t help with other hosts, Vimeo is similar probably, but I don’t do moving pictures to check.
Hang on, lemme check:

Has to be from Youtube or Vimeo
