Bikers' Banter

Just trying different ways to upload

Then you can teach us!

I wish. I don't even understand the instructions. There are words I don't recognise at all. I can make them small with Paint, like on MCN, but after that I have no idea. If Bob can find an easier way it would be magic. How else can I show off my new ducks? Sorry, I mean how else can I show off my motorcycle?

Hi Bee

We want to see your new ducks

First of all - you need to know where you have your photos saved (eg, in your Pictures file)
Then, you write or reply to a post...
At the bottom of where you've written, is this bit (click on the word Attachments and it looks like this):
Then, click on the little box that says Add files.
This will take you to your computer, and then you have to go find the photo you want to add.

Once you have chosen it, you will get this bit:


Here's the important bit
Wait for it to load up, and for the little green circle / tick on the right hand side.

Then you can submit.

If you want to write lots of stuff - add a photo - write some more - add another photo... then you can click the 'Plane inline' button before you post, and this puts it in the middle of your writing.
If you are putting in lots of pictures, the top one in the list is the newest.

I'm not certain, but I think you can only add 3 per post.
Other people seem to have found other ways to do it, but I'm no expert - I just know this method works for me!
Yes, they have to be small sized photos, otherwise the man who looks after the forum would have to buy a bigger machine just to hold our photos!

Good luck
Show us your ducks x

Lovely with a nice orange sauce

I've just been watching mum and dad sparrow feeding their two babies in the bird house nearest the pool. I recon they'll be fledged by the weekend.

I did that without pushing any buttons! (Thanks, piglet ). They are called Orville and Wilbur, after the Wright brothers. Runner ducks can't fly but the names seemed to fit.
They are getting braver and run away more slowly today. They have big appetites, which is good as their job will be to eat slugs once they are tame enough to be let loose in the garden.
I will have another go at the photo thingy soon.

Here we go.... Ooh! It works! My new luggage. I've been looking for that picture for weeks.
