Newbie being a noob

[kieran81]

So, ive tried quite a few times to upload images from Links using photo bucket (used to use this on astras owners club) and all links are said to be invalid with this forum. It even refuses to let me change my profile picture. ive tried to upload them from my computer, but files are to large.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

cheers

Welcome dude.

Do you have a link to one of the images you're trying to upload? If you could paste the URL of it I'll work out what's wrong

You need to ensure your profile picture is within the spec required:

The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 64.0 KB (whichever is smaller). Any chance you can link to the image you're trying to use?

Where abouts in Manchester are you from?

Nice! Don't suppose she's in the habit of loaning out bikes for pro-longed test rides is she? :P

Sometimes when you are linking images to this forum using the URL you need to un-click "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box in on the 'Image' window in order for it to work.
