Hi
We are out of space on the forum for attachments, there is a limit of 200Mb and we are currently using almost 500Mb
Please could you upload your attachments to a site external to proboards like dropbox and link to them from there.
We are working on a plan to get the current attachments to an external dropbox account and relinking them, but it will unfortunately be a time consuming process.
Tjeers
Steve

I was fortunate in the way things worked out. The Contractors that I work with had their pay weekend so I was fairly free on Monday to set up my Photobucket account and upload pics but the attachments that are on the forum is still a headache. Steve cannot, so far, access them. All we know is that we have exceeded the attachment limit. Support assures us the attachments can be viewed given the correct privileges.

I could not get pictures to work "quote"works as you can see. Just remove the words "insert..." before you hit create post. For more than one picture I just paste the links from Photobucket (bottom one of the four options) into the post body,text can be inserted between links hope this helps

Ok Marius and Steve
One can post more than one picture using the "quote" button. Question though, can ordinary members also post in this way.
Ari, if you are still online, have a look at the picture of my NIVA on the ramps and the instructions. Please try and post a picture using "quote"
Thanks

Posting Pictures to the Forum: It is recommended that members set up Photobucket accounts, The process to obtain an account is described here: dl.dropbox.com/u/14906915/How%20to%20post%20pictures.pdfOne tip from me use the "yellow Quote" button to post pictures. At present the "insert picture" button does not work.

Just a quick update people.
Firstly we would like to ast thank you for your patience in sorting out the attachment issue we inherited with the upgrade to V5.
The good news is that we are currectly 127Mb over our atttachment limit, down from 290Mb directly after the upgrade. Please bear with us for another few weeks while we sort this issue out.
As a general rule in future, please upload your images to a photobucket account and link from there as we, the moderators, would end up doing that any and as you can imagine it is an involved process and will remain problematic.
Tjeers
Steve
