Hi people,
A couple of you have asked me how to post a picture on Bellett.net .
It's not too hard, but I want to give some step-by-step instructions for those of you who are new to the world of computers and forums.
Step 1:
Scroll down under the text box where you type your stuff, and also under the Options check boxes (eg the 'Attach a signature' check box) to the 'Upload attachment' area. There should be a 'Browse...' button. See below:

Step 2:
Clicking on this will open a 'File Upload' box

Step 3:
Clicking on or typing in your file name (eg: Instructions - 01.jpg in my case) will place it in the 'Filename' bar next to the 'browse' button.
You then must click 'Add the file'.

This will momentarily bring up another box that simply says 'The upload is currently in process'. After a few seconds (or more depending on the file size), the box will disappear and you will be looking at the top of your post (ie the page will be scolled to the top). Scroll down and you should see the FILE NAME of the picture (not the picture itself) - see below:

Repeat Steps 1-3 this if you wish to add more photos.
When you hit 'Preview' or 'Submit', you should see your post and it's picture in all it's glory!
ADVANCED INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTIPLE PICTURES....
If you wish to post several pictures, they probably won't come out in the order you expected. If this is important (eg you're showing a build, 'before & after' shots etc ), then you'll need to use these instructions to put them in order.
Assuming you've repeated steps 1-3 and added several pictures....
Step 4
Click on the drop-down box directly below the text box (this is above the Options check boxes). See below:

Step 5
Choose your file name and press 'Place inline' button (make sure the cursor is blinking on the screen at the point where you want the picture to appear).
This will put some text into your post; these instructions tell the forum machine what pictures to put where. Don't worry too much about what the attachment number is; etc. If you make a mistake, just delete it like regular text (or if you want to move it, you can cut + paste).

If you have uploaded more pictures than you 'place inline' the forum will post the remaining pictures at the end, so your pictures will appear even without the "['attachment=0]Instructions - 06.jpg[/attachment'] text there.
So there you go. It's as easy as 1-2-3 (4-5)!!!!
If you have any questions just reply or PM me or something!
Now I can get back to putting up pictures of Belletts!
I hope that was helpful.
Cheers,
Dave
