To attach any image from a website - right click on the image and select 'Properties'.

I think that this might need updatin?????

I just came across a Vimeo clip that had more than what was needed in it's tag string, and Youtube vids have almost every one like that also these days!!!!!

eg Youtube= only the bit between the "=" and the "&" is needed for the embed function!!!!!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to put this out there for everyone.

If you post a really big image that considerably breaks the frame of the page, there's a little code we can use to edit the size of the image without re-uploading.

Just edit your post and where you see the URL between the [IMG] tags... take the URL and place it in the following code:



Click 'quote' to see the above code I've used. Alternatively, there is a screenshot of the code below.



We will soon have an actual button for doing this, as we upgrade the website in the coming weeks/months, but for now I just wanted to let you guys know. If you post a huge image and can be bothered, please swap the code over (this will really help the moderators).

Thank you.
