Hi all,

When you have logged into PB,click on BROWSE This will let you look at the piccys you want in your folder.Click on the piccy than press OPEN When you have selected the piccys you want click on the UPLOADtag.This will bring your piccys to your PB folder.
When the piccy is their,there is a small square box below your piccy,click in this box putting a tick in it.
Then scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see some other boxes,click on the last box saying GENERATE HTML AND IMG CODE.
On the next page click on the third box down.This will copy your piccy.
Now go back to the forum page and just right click and paste,this will put the url in the box.Click on PREVIEW under the box to see if your piccy is their.If it is great.
When you upload more than one piccy you will have to seperate them at the end of each url.
HTH.

Johnluc,

Perhpas you have real tulipwood, rather than the wood of the tulip tree (try google images). I believe it's a tropical hardwood, more red in colour and quite hard, but never used any myself.

Cheers,

Dod

thanks chris you may well be right, thought my local timber yard only sold local timber, will ask if his "TULIPO" is imported. johnluc
