Andy I meant so you don't have to click on the link...the link will always work (assuming you typed it correctly) if you link to a pic available on the net in any of the other forums here you can see the pic in the post. It isn't user settings where you can choose to view pics or not. On the Techroom forum (old one) it wouldn't work and now (new one) it still won't work. Mods have the permissions to attach a pic either as a download or in the post but everyone else just has to link to a pic and only have the link showing.
The main reason for allowing pics in the techroom is 'cos when people ask a question like " I have a leak coming from the down bleed inlet pipe how do I fix it" as the description I have just given is so totally wrong a pic will help things along very quickly, you even get 3 or 4 posts from the original person saying "No, that isn't where I meant" Allow pics in the Techroom! They have more validity here than in the other sections.
