Sorry Mike, added two links to the gallery that didn't seem to work.  Just uploaded the file instead.

First time uploading a photo on here and participating in a photo contest.  Assume we show the photo here as well?  If not, I'll edit it out.

Showing off the pics here is fine too. It's not hard to do, once the photo is uploaded, simply right click on the image itself and select "copy image location" (Firefox), Copy image URL (Chrome). For IE you have to select Properties and copy the image URL from there.

Once that's done you simply enclose it in some

tags as follows:

That will include the image "inline" in your post... no need to attach it. Hope that helps.

Woulda worked for me but the uploaded image was 800+kb and the insert is capped at 600k i think. So i cropped and chopped it down to what ya see. Thanks for the helper though

As was suggested, I am entering my pic of the new rucksack into the photo contest.

I did not want to upload it into the photo contest folder, as it is already in my album.

Have a Royal day.  Pro Patria!

There's no limit on the img tag photo sizes, but there is when you attach it. Plus then there's 2 copies of it on the server, whereas if you link it there's just one.

I would vote for it, if only our of Regimental loyalty, IF it was in the photo contest album - with all those neat vote thingies -but it's not so I can't.

I took this on Roto 3 somewhere out in the middle of nowhere on the way to Gorak.


Also, could someone remind me how to upload it to the photo contest album?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Nice photo! You should be able to simply click on the Upload Photo link in the first post to go to the upload screen.

Cheers
