i BELIEVE you can use the tags <img src = "blah blah blah blah.jpg" >
HTML Tips and Hints It has other informative pages linked to it too.
It's kinda basic....for a simpleton like me it was just what I needed to be able to post photos that I didn't save on the Bimmer.info gallery. I believe that you can post most any image of any size on this site by using <img src=http://www.yadda-yadda-yadda.com/jeff.jpg> as long as the image is hosted somewhere in the first place. You know how people always ask why WE can't see their pictures since THEY can. Well, it's ususlly because they're putting an image file that's only on their hard drive, not hosted somewhere.
Look around and play with some of the examples. In a little while, you'll be as smart as me!!! :p.......................................although that might be a big step down. ;)

Hey Jeff.
The real problem is that it was written in MS Office, and just typing in an image tag won't make the browser parse (process) it.
There's an easy way to fix it and a hard way. Here's the easy way:
- Open your HTML file in Notepad (the only thing I ever use to write HTML...and I've done a lot of it)
- A lot of it will probably look like greek -- MSO adds a lot of superfluous junk whenever you use it to generate a page. Basically, what you want to do is find every place where you've got an <IMG> tag and clean it up. Example:
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'><img
srs = <a href="http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bigger%20Press.jpg">http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bigger
Press.jpg</a> ><o:p></o:p></span></p>
Should turn into:
<p><IMG SRC="http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bigger%20Press.jpg"></p>
or even:
<p><IMG SRC="Bigger%20Press.jpg"></p>
(I would rename your images into something simpler - without the spaces...like "image1.jpg")
All you need is the IMG tag....and it's "IMG SRC"...there's no link necessary, so you can leave out the A HREF part.
Alternatively, just email that sucker to me - whit@despammed.com - and I'll do it for you.
Also, you don't have to use absolute paths to your images (ie: http://www.bimmer.info...). If the images are in the directory where your HTML file is, just put the image file name, else add a /directory/image.jpg if they're a directory up in the structure (ie - files located in /images -- <pre><img src="/images/blahblah.jpg"></pre>")
best, whit
Eeeeek!
ill worry about it later...or better yet never.
Hahaha....stop being a girl and just get it done - it'll take two seconds...plus, I want to read that thing!!! :)
Im hoping Brian C is gonna hook it up.
I'll give one of your images a try below....
cant I just delete this thread and wish I didnt start it?
I'm thinking that the easiest way is to click on the yellow, square icon above and get this:
http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bearing%20Press.jpg
But we all know how to do that already, right? So now I'll try this....I'll write it as the posts by Geek and me had like this:
I first went to your directory, clicked on your image, the cut/pasted the URL into this tag...
[img src=http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bearing%20Press.jpg]
EXCEPT that I used "[....]" instead of the necessassary "<....>" like this:
So....let's see....
<img src=http://www.bimmer.info/~regal632/Bearing%20Press.jpg>
:(
Hhmmmmm................well, that didn't work. I'm thinking that we can't do this here on this "new" board like we could on the "old" board. That's why Winfred and I can't post our favorite farty sounds and spam songs and such anymore. OK, I'm outta ideas unless there's some way to adjust the settings for each of our own preferences. Paul P would know......and of course ed, but he's selling bimmers to finance our free time here! :D
Sorry.......
Brian C.
I'm thinking that you can post as much as you want.....within the 4-5 image max/page.....just by using the yellow box icon anyway. What else was it you wanted to do?
Brian C.
i want to have an off link to the site where its hosted along with the pics. I cant post the whole thing here in its entirety cause...simply there is too many pictures.
Can you make it work and link from the site its hosted?
I tried the [img = " blah" ]>....dont work tho. I treid a few other ways...this isnt my department anyways...just wanted to post it...this is why I havent posted it since saturday.
Maybe another day.
It seems like Whit is in the know here. Tomorrow is another day. I'm off to beddy-by.......my friggin' alarm's set for 5:30am!! :(

Derek drives a Hoagiemobile!
