Henk,
Tracked it down as follows for not my pic's. When I post a reply Hit profile,then my workbench photos, and it comes up on kitmaker gallery. Not being a pro on a computer. I'm not sure if I inadvertanly posted someone else's work somehow or what happened but they are not my photo's and don't want to get anyone upset for taking creidt for their hard work. As of yet, I have not sent any photos to the site yet as I had a problem down loading the program to my settings on my computer, still trying to figure it out. Thanks, bob

Henk - while we're on this subject, is it possible to simply post pics to an external image hosting service and display them here that way?

To be honest, I find the picture-posting system here (all that Kitmaker gallery malarkey) a bit of a rigmarole, and have had very mixed results with it myself. Very user-unfriendly (or maybe it's just me who's technologically challenged ).

Pointers appreciated - cheers!

- Steve

I think figured out the mystery Bob.

All you are seeing are the generic uploaded, workbench photos. So far I have seen the same photos, on yours', Steve's, and even mine, I think the link just brings us to the same generic gallery. (not sure as I have never uploaded to workbench gallery)

Steve I have no idea about posting from another site, but I imagine it the same as posting from our gallery. you need the URL address between [ img ] and [ /img ] You get the address by right clicking on the properties, copying and then pasting the address between [ img ] and [ /img ] without any spaces between the brackets or in the address.

Steve i use Photobucket for hosting my pictures for this site and others and it works fine,simple to use also.Go to there site and open a free account that gives you tones of storage.To post just select image and left click on -Image code- then right click on post and paste.

I whole heartedly agree with Steve (1969) regarding Photobucket...been using them for a long time.

Bob,

the 'workbench' photos space in your profile is not 'showing' any photos. If you have any photos to display there, they will display on the profile page, without a need to click on the link. The link re-directs you to the generic 'work bench' gallery.

Whilst Photo bucket can be a usefull tool, it is easy to load very large photos, which can result in considerable slowing down of page loads here. The Kitmaker gallery has a few small problems at the moment, which I'm sure Jim S will be working on to fix, but once you get the hang of it, it is very simple to use.

Henk and Dave,
