Help please

[gamba]

I have a tale to tell but it requires the technical ability to provide a photograph as a sort of 'attachment.'

Can someone guide my steps please ?

Gamba, someone - possibly Caliban? posted this a while back - I saved in my docs so apologies if I've mis-attributed it

you have to create a link by uploading the pic from your hard-drive to a hosting site.

The easiest I know is this: http://imgur.com/

You have to register with an email address. Once done, you click the "From your computer" button.... find the image on your system... click on it and it will upload

Once you see the image on the imgur page, click on it and it will enlarge from the thumbnail. You will see a series of codes, bottom left will be "BBCode (message boards)" - copy that code, paste it into the box here on FOR3.

If you then click 'preview' message in the 'advanced' screen, you should see your image in place of the link.

Thank you Richard. I shall make a copy of your answer & tackle the process in due sourse.

My story relates to the ' Lewis Chessmen ' They were much in the news towards the end of last year & as always, not without some comment on the Queen - why does she look so sad & grief-stricken etc..

I believe I have found the answer. I photographed a dramatic reconstruction of the scene & then sent it to the British Museum. I had a letter in reply within days from James Robinson, Head Curator of Medieval Studies.

Great praise for my picture but a reminder that no answer can be the difinitive one, like the smile on the face of the Sphinx !

However, he did ask if I would be kind enough to allow them access to my photo for use by the museum ( so it can't be that far of the mark !)

Thanks again, gamba

Well done, gamba. Can't wait to read what you have to say and post the image (further instructions if you have problems with imgur - I use photobucket in much the same way).
