Well first answer the pics in the thread question. If you have taken the pics then you put them onto the computer (scan or when digital just upload them) Photoshop when necesary. If you already have a web pasport for MSN then you have 3 MB of webspace there you can upload pics. simply mnakea new album and upload.
If you have uploaded the pics go to the picture(s) you want to appear in the thread (not the thumbnail but the big picture) "Right-click" on it and go to properties. Then a small window appears with all kind of info about the pic and in the middle there is a URL high light it by dragging from upper left to lower right and make sure you have highlighted the whole URL (it`s quite long) Then push "CTRL-V" (or rightclick copy)
Now go to your thread type your message and where you want the pic to show up you hit the IMG button wich can be found under the type field. Then this codestring appears
[img]bladibladibladi[/ img] replace the bladibladibladi for he URL type your message further and push submit. Easy as that
If you have questions about it simply send me a PM and I help you out.

A name mmmmmhh Is it a bunker in the days before D-Day maybe you could then call it "the silence before the storm"

I love to see pics of that dio dude I hope you will be able to post them ASAP

If the trenches run off the edge of the dio you could call it "Web over Normandy" or "Dovers Web". Work a web/trench analogy in somehow.

I like the idea of it being called something to do with a web, but what does dovers mean? oh another thing about the pics, when you see the barbed wire, there arent all that many barbs, this is because its hard to get right in there when you dont have little fingers, and its my first attempt on doing barbed wire, cheers
