It really isn't difficult, just need to get used to it. I've been on forums for 3/4 years now & there all similar to use.

Uploading pictures, you need to register into "Photo bucket" or similar & copy URL link across. If you are still having bother just let us know.

Hi Jase, sorry your finding the site difficult, there is lots of help in the Forum Rules section, but it you need any help then do not be afraid to send myself, 2002r1jon or Bub a message and shout for help :D

To keep the site loading time/resources on the server low we don't allow uploading of images directly, but if your on a PC then you can use these instructions on how to post images stored on photobucket or similar viewtopic.php?f=4&t=144" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if you are using TapaTalk on an Android or iOS device then it will host and post the pictures for you.

Hope that makes sense.

although some features like the new "Like" feature will not work on TapaTalk. But yes I agree Dean, iphone 5 and ipad for me when on the sofa or at work and makes keeping up with the forums a piece of cake.

I defo don't upload as many pics as I used too as I cannae be arsed loading tae photofuckit etc, I suspect a lot are the same, im on a forum to do with my work and you can upload straight from your pc stored pics as long as they are 640 x 480 and no bigger, much easier

In this day and age though a lot of people take a picture with their smart phone and not their cameras.

If a smartphone then use tapatalk to post your pictures from your phone straight into the forum post, tapatalk host your images for you (no need for PhotoBucket)

If you use a proper camera then get the photobucket auto sync tool and it syncs the photos as you copy them from the camera to the computer, you then just go into photobucket and get the IMG tag link for your pictures.

Both Much easier than having to resize images to 640x480 which was a pain on the old forum, means a lot less work for the moderators, keeps the site quick and snappy and lastly the hosting costs reasonable as we are not hosting millions of pictures.

You can however upload to the gallery if there is just a few pics of your bike you want to upload to show, and you can link to those images in your post too.
