This is discussed here:

http://www.buga.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=111.0 (http://www.buga.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=111.0)

1. Upload your photos to photobucket etc.

2. When looking at the image, there is an option to 'share this image'

3. Click on the IMG code. It will copy the address to your clipboard & you can paste it in to your message

Hope this helps!

Hey skip, all you need to do is click on additional options, browse, when your pictures open double click on image and done. I dont use this photobucket thing, just my windows pictures. I also have shrink pic loaded on my pc, and that resizes automatically, so i dont have to do anything.

Skippy The way I mostly do it is to fistly add the Pics to my albumn, then point to them from the posts.

The reason I do this is then the pics will always be available - not nessisarily so if you host them else where.

Another advantage is that the albumn software has resizing tools in it so it creates a thumbnail and correct picture size for the gallery as you upload it - one simple opperation.

So once you have the picture in your albumn you put the cursor over the full image and right click selecting properties, highlight the url and then past that url into your post - you can do this quicker if you have two sessions of Buga runnig, one with your post the other with your albumn

Marsu - Piall

This was added using bedfordcrazys method an is quiet simple as well.

Warren

*edit - the size limit is 1Meg - so if your pic is larger than that it wont load - you will have to shrink it - and loading it into the gallery does that for you.

Cracked the "shits, drank more Bourbon and in the end said -----  Stick it where the sun don't Shine!!!!   Actually was worse than that!!!  Cheers Brian O

I tried adding this picture using the "Additional Options" way but it was to large at 2 meg - when I uploaded it to my gallery it automatically shrunk it to 84 K

This is a pretty good size for pics as they load reasonably quickly and have good resalution, but if you wanted more detail bigger ones might be better

I remember scaring the bejezus out of some try hard sports bike dudes, going up the Black Spur, they were slowing me down so I just went around them on the outside.

I was 2 up on my Heritage at the time, panniers and all, showered them in sparks from the floor boards and pipes :D

OK to answer Wendys question first

If you have a look at my gallery you will see I have a lot of photos, but only one page when you go in, that is because I create multipal Albums to keep it tidy.

You have started to do that but from your question I gather you want a better picture for your Gallery picture, and possible each album.

Heres how to do it

First you need to select the Album that the picture is in - if it is in the main gallery skip this step

(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24939&g2_serialNumber=2)

Then go to the picture you want as your main picture, then click on the "item action" feild and select "make Highlight"

(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24945&g2_serialNumber=1)

When you click on that you will get a choice of making that picture the highlighr for that abum or the whole gallery

(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=24947&g2_serialNumber=1)

Choose which one and click on "Highlight" and your done.

Hope thats clear Warren

hahaha i bet it scared the crap outa them,
did u ever make steel plates up to put on your boots, lol,
lots of sparks in a sraight line doin 100mph when u put your boots down on the tar, ;D
was like bein in war of the worlds,
was fun unless u had a leaking fuel tap and were behind a mate doin it, :D then it was scary.
but even then we didnt care much back then, in our 20,s and scared of nothin, lol.

i might buy another harley 1 day,
or even build up my own.
heaps easier than rebuilding a beddy thats 4 sure.

Wendy the chat room has all those  logoin logout messages because no ones using it, and people go in to check and no ones there.

We need to organise a time to chat, or if you see that some one is on line you could try PMing them to go in.

Skippy

I was living around the Panton Hills St Andrews area during the late 80s early 90's.

I havent been to any of the Kevington events, I used to do the loop, up to healsville, through the black spur to Marrysville then through the nabathong ranges to the Reeffton Pub for a quiet cleansing ale, then back home via Warbeton - a great way to spend a Sunday.

Old School is off the interweb, from france, I was looking for ideas for an XS650 I have at the moment and that little beauty is the ducks guts.

Hey Skip

The pics only come up as very small images - a bit bigger than thumbnails - but not much.

Also Well done BedfordCrazy & WendyH for their updated albums - looks great guys - now all you have to do is start some threads on what youve done to your vans  ;) ;)
