Seems that we went from being able to posr photos to not beeing able to post photos and then having to find a way around it.Personally, I was always worried about messing up the format of the thread by posting an embedded photo that was too big or embedding a photo that was embedded that was redced to a size such that it was of no worth.

Yes it can be problematic liits as nemtioned above but actually you have a good point here, embed a small size picture, where this is adequate for its purpose, that's all we need - if the subject is to be used for closer study such as a map, attact the full size too as usual.Job's a good'un, suggestion of the year upto now - give the man one of Brandy's special prizes

You can use string and sealing wax if it works for you Leodian - any way you can do it! That made me .
