JW those pics are bloody fantastic!! Man they show the scale of some of that operation its massive!!!!! Lammerlaw...i'm making a short vid for youtube to physically show you how to do these uploads...cos I wanna see what pics you are gonna share too! Thats cool - I need some lessons to even turn a blasted computer on - I hate the things. My photos are all old - I gave up taking pictures 20 years ago when I realised that they were just memories and some reminders of some memories werent worth remembering so out went the camera. An hour or so ago I did look at some of mine from away back but they are sort of blurry and out of focus - if its mechanical and does not go bang or has two, three or four wheels then it seems not to be worth having so I dont have a camera now...but one never knows...I might get one...one day. Very few photos were taken gold mining or of gold mining places because it was my backyard and because goldmining was justy an ordinary every weekend and holiday activity for me - I have a few older ones which I might put on when I work out how...if it was my old computer I could easily do it but this one confuses me as it gives photo size as percentages and the resizing proceedure is not near as good as my old computer...in fact this here 1Tb computer is an ah of a thing.

You can spend hours reading these accounts and end up with a wealth of information.

Searching "Gold" gave me 20 workings, 4210 pages & 89 images. Heaps of free research / reading material :)

I have given up trying because I wouldnt know how and theres several dead computers testify to my patience with them! you upload them to a third party site like photobucket, then post the link to it for the photo to show here. it's best to make the album private as well if you have other photos that you don't want to share with the world. if it is a picture from another website you can post a direct link without uploading the picture to a photobucket album. edit and if i read the rest of the thread then i see MSB has got it well in hand doh!

I am still none the wiser - photobucket, computers and anything more complex than a transistor radio to me is as simple as the cockpit of a Boeing 737 to an intellectually impaired blindman. I need the procedure to be listed in a long itemised list using words with four letters or less and for this particular ultra modern abomination of a computer which seems to have programmes that are designed to confuse anyone less intelligent than ET and Einstein.
