Oh well, at least you found us. Welcome on board.

Someone will be along soon to explain to you how to post your pictures. I can't remember how as it's a while since I've posted any pics but it's not too difficult, otherwise I'd never have managed it. :roll::roll:

As a Newbie, you may not be aware that Dibble is our resident Acerbic Wit, which is surprising considering he is also our resident doughnut muncher. You would think that much sweet would counteract the sour! :l:D;)

Its Sunday!!!
I don't yet know what the route will be . It's being organised by Andy (Yelloistwofriedeggs) who is from up your way. The guys from the central belt will be meeting up with Andy and his pals from Aberdeen at the Spittal of Glenshee at 11.00am (I think). I'll probably join them at Blairgowrie - it's nearer for me. From the Spittal the plan is to head up to Braemar then over the Lecht. from there on Andy has some route planned which he will reveal on the day.

make sure the avatar is a GIF or JPG and no more than 155x155 pixels, then using the BROWSE button it should load from anywhere - sometimes doesn't appear right away.

Photos need to be on a web site so that you type in the URL using the insert image icon

You should be able to attach a picture from the reply screen , Just click browse just above post reply navigate to the desired pic then click post reply and that should be it though there might be a size limit for the pic (usually 200kb iirc ) to use a website you can either use your personal webspace if you have any or find a picture hosting site , never used one so cant help there but basically you upload the image then either click the img tab in reply (its a has a small picture of a mountain range on it 7th from the left ) from the options above the reply box and enter the url to the image there or add it using (img)http//www.picture.co.uk(/img) where http//www.picture.co.uk is the url for the pic and replace the () with [] if you get stuck for hosting email the pic to me on screwcutter@hotmail.com and I can host it for you .

Any chance of posting an idiots guide as to how you got that picture up?
