CF Photo reference material available

[Robin Craig]

Dear Stuart + others,

as long as the mods are ok I am going to keep everything within MLU, after all you are already here and it keeps things together.

I want to make it very clear that I would REALLY prefer that others not post pictures of their fixes etc into the galleries i'm starting, lets just keep them the reference material and comments on those pictures alone. Keep things on topic.

These are not being scanned at the highest resolution, and I am a luddite and a technophobe as far as eletrickery, windows 8 is driving me nuts.

Hope you will all enjoy my efforts. It was fun all those years taking them as I knew when they would see the light of day people will be surprised as to what really went on rather than what is written in a manual.

These images are my copyright, ask before filching them.

Robin,

Great to see you are unearthing your slides, MLU is happy to serve as a platform for sharing them.

You could also try the album feature here http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/album.php
We have not used it to date, but since it is part of the forum's functionality why not let us try it.

Dear Hanno,

I guess in reply to your response as a moderator is that I wanted it as a running thread in the open so that others get that thread pop up as a "new post" when they log in thereby seeing that I have added some new images to what might be their favourite thread as they own one of these vehicles.

The other issue that I have found out now that you have showed me that there is an album function, is that I am not allowed to post in there according to the forum itself, I don't have permission to post there, apparently a moderator has to allow me . . . .

What do others say? What would you guys out there like?

What do the people say?

Robin,

Will have to check the settings. As I said this function was never used on this forum, so parts of this are new to me.

Meanwhile, you have started thread on each vehicle types plus accompanying text. That is why I personally (as a reader, not as a moderator) prefer use of threads over albums. Albums are just that, a thread is much more lively as the text puts the photos in context and it jumps to top anytime you add to it.

Hanno,

I think the fact the you also see the same point as I do kind of seals the fate fairly quickly. Thread it will be until forced elsewhere or cajoled otherwise.

Robin,

Pleased proceed. Next to attaching your pictures to the bottom of your posts, you can also use the option to put the pictures in line with your text as explaned in Posting pictures (just updated).

Thanks for that Hanno, I'm kind of struggling to get as far as I am with scanning and importing and naming and uploading these, getting the text above or below the images is desired by me but Im just not quite there as far as computer skills, I loose my way.
