See if this helps.
Try to keep them 800x600 so people don't have to scroll from side to side.

cool it works, great cheers for that Radarman.

So am i right in saying we cant use our screenshots from our "my pictures" folder on our pc's to upload to a forum, we can only use these to upload to the gallery, and the only screenshots we can post here are ones that are already on the web?

have i got that right?

cheers

Right, you upload to the gallery and post whatever you have on a site on the net.
Nice bike.

Use this to post a pic in your post or signature.

Thank goodness for photobucket. I have also attempted to post some to the gallery w/ limited success. I do not know why some are accepted and some are rejected but guess it's a subjective thing. Here is another one that I tried to post w/no luck. Some of the ones that are fairly good don't make it either but oh well, that's the way it goes.

OG,
They are not rejected by Flyaway (no I'm not defending him) they are not accepted by the software for some reason.
After a few errors on my part now all of the screens I submit are accepted.
no symbols (-+*%#), no spaces, keep the name short.

Why not name your screens OG1, OG2, you named the one in your post with "spaces, symbols and it's too long", that shot most likely wouldn't be accepted.

sonic,

Try re-posting that RAF Herc shot if u can. -If it's a fave I would like to see it. 🙂

BTW, speaking of seeing it, did anybody get the latest edition of PC PILOT
magazine yet? A pretty good issue dedicated to heavy iron. Comes with CD Rom which includes a free plane. -Supermarine Spitfire. Has working machine guns and an animated pilot. 🙂

Also, I was wondering if anyone can instruct on how to install a splashscreen from a screenshot? 😕

RM,

I have exchanged emails with Rana and we know each other a bit from the dl link above. Issue w/ this addon is that it tends to make changes w/o proper authorization. Upon installation there are various scenery and settings issues. In addition, he tells me that some of it's functions are not yet fully up and running. Please don't get me wrong as Rana and I get along fine and I don't have any 'problem' with the software. Thanks for taking the time to post it here. Your time to do that is appreciated! 🙂

OG,
He's posted a few times in this forum and seems to be the type that likes to help people.
I hope he gets the program worked out for his and everyone else's sake.
Thanks for the tip.
