Default Photo posting question

I don't own a digital camera. We do use a development service that allows us to view the photos on line, prior to shipment. Would I be able to attach that type of photo to a post in this forum or will I need to break down and buy a digital camera?
I'd like to post pix of the silver bomb before Finman's curse destroys the finish (yes-Chicago birds found the A8 within 48 hours).

Default Any picture in GIF or JPG format that you can get a URL for will do

For example, if you picture is stored at http://www.myphotostore.com/users/audifox/coolwheels.jpg you would just link to that in your post.

To link, just put <b>&lt;img src="</b> before the URL of your pic, then <b>"&gt;</b> after it.

Default First you need to post the photo online in a semi-permanent location...

Probably, the photo service you use posts them only temporarily online. So you may need to put them somewhere permanent...

You can upload pictures by going to <a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com">http://pictureposter.audiworld.com</a> (make sure you are logged in to Audiworld first). Follow directions given there. After uploading, pictureposter will show you the "URL" location of the image you have just uploaded. Copy this location to your clipboard by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate menu item.

How to find the pictures you have uploaded: Simply go again to the pictureposter link above. Or, if you pasted the URL into a bookmarks manager, you have it available to you.

A way to find anybody's pictures: go to any message you or anyone has posted, and click on the User Number above the name -- it will show you a link to all the uploaded pictures. Try mine above, for example (mine says "230").

Once uploading is done, you can post the piccture by pasting the "URL" link in the "Optional Image URL" space at the bottom of an Audiworld page.

To post multiple pictures, you can type <b>&lt;img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/usernumber/picturename.jpg"&gt;</b> (quotes are optional around the URL), where the string in quotes is the URL for the pictures you saved from your pictureposter (or for any pictures on the web). Repeat this on a new line for each picture you want to put in the message.

Default Birds like shiny objects to poop on...

...so basically, the cleaner you get that silver beauty, the more birds will wanna poop on it.

You will eventually need to buy a digital camera. I mean, well, you have an A8 but no digital camera!?

The photo hosting service will only allow you to use the link for a number of days before they delete it for their next customer, to save space on their server I imagine.

Get a SONY with a 64mb(at least) memory stick, most versitile and works on PC and Mac's.
