    Default How to start a new build thread with pics

    Can some one point me at a thread ( Thorne) that explains in simpleton terms how to do this. I have my pics on Flickr but cant see how to link them to a new thread. Both from the WB end and Flickr end. I've looked at FAQ's but thats not simple enough or I'm missing something. GGGRRRRR

    Thanks Andrew

    Go to your photos on Flickr, select one and right click on. Click copy image location then go to your WBF thread, click the little picture icon. Click on the From URL tab and right click in the field and click paste, untick the retrieve remote file option and click OK.

    Andrew, there are many ways. But if your images are on Flickr, then the easiest is probably to open your image on Flickr at the 800x534 size, as this is easy on others computers when you load it onto the forum.

    Right click on it, and in the menu which pops up, select the 'Copy image URL' choice.

    You then write your post in the Forum, and when you want to post that image, you click on the 'Insert Image' icon 3rd from the right of the icons at the top of the window you're writing in.

    You have to select the 'From URL' option (wait for it to settle down, it won't let you select it straight away, so sometimes click it twice) and then make sure you 'untick' the box below it.

    Then press 'OK'
