Posting photos!

[danjamds]

Maybe someone could explain in words of not more than one syllable how to successfully post photos. For my recent posts I have just used the link to FLIKR but they are not visible.
Like most people I want to see the photos clearly on the "preview".

For one of my other car passions, Alfa, there is a similar forum and on there it is possible to insert photos directly from any PC without using a public domain.
Judging by the requests I see for help on this issue I am not alone.

Hi,
I'll try to share with you the way I use :

After I select the pic I want to include, I choose the share photo icon.
Select the second Icon from the left



4 options are possible : Share, Embed, Email and BBcode.

I choose the BBcode one, and manage the size of the picture.

If you copy past all the code selected by default, here is an exemple of the result (I replaced the code with Bla bla bla to show you the code) :

[img]https://farm5.BLA BLA BLA BLA07171_2b846dcfb4_z.jpg[/img]Epoq'auto_2017 by Raphael, on Flickr

If you just want the picture and no more information, you can only keep the code from [img] blabablablabla ..... to the next img with a / : [img/]

On my computer, it works.

Hope it helps

(Sorry, it is explained by a French guy using more than one syllable words )

Hello,
I notice that your other car passion is alfa romeo. I share the same passion as both marks share the same kind of philosophy (light and brillant mecanic although alfa is much more reliable): I own a 24 CT but also a spider giulia 101 , alfetta berlina and gtv.

I have the same problem as you to post pictures on the Panhard forum: impossible. This must be the french way to make a simple action, very complicated!

Hello Rafd,
Many thanks for your guidance. So here is my first attempt:-

Hi Rafd,
I've now tried another one of the Flikr buttons (Share) and a box appeared with this huge code:-
panhard 657 by john fletcher, on Flickr

BUT IT APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED!!

Hi Rafd,
Actually it was the bbcode which I selected. It has not appeared in my response - just the photo which is marvellous!

Hello Michel,
My Alfa is a Giulia Sprint from 1963 so it has the 1600 engine and 5 speed box like your Spider. I've only just finished the restoration so I will now attempt to post a photo for you:-

Hi Danjamds (John ?)

You're really welcome, I spent a lot of time trying inserting photos on many forums, glad it helped you.
By the way, your Alfa is very nice.
My (wife's) Alfa is really younger, she bought a Brera few months ago.

Hello John,

Very nice Sprint. As I said, I have a spider Giulia, from 1964 (disks), with the original rare Pinifarina hardtop, 1600 cc. The car is in top condition and with my wife, we use it on long journeys on the continent; never failed. I improve it by adding an alternator, 2 double carburetors and the long rear axle ratio of the veloce for cruising on motorways. The softtop doesn't protect very much when it is raining heavily.
I have my 24 CT for 3 years. Very nice and comfortable car, no rust, low mileage, but I still had a few problems that I never met with any alfa: distributor jumping out 3 times, broken gearbox( fortunately I had a good one in reserve from a 24BT), exhaust to be replaced completely, from the engine to the rear end, etc...
Sorry, I don't want to try again to post pictures; too complicated but I can send you pictures directly on your mail.

Hello,
I am using dropbox to share my pictures but not sure it will work on the Panhard forum;
Here are pictures of my 24 CT and my spider giulia 101:https://www.dropbox.com/s/4vsw6ilri3rzdkt/Photo%205-05-17%2012%2023%2054.jpg?dl=0https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9fn0vkqsz6recn/Photo%206-11-17%2015%2049%2039.jpg?dl=0

I'm happy that it allow you sharing these amazing cars. Please, try again, for our eyes only

[danjamds]

Hello Michel,
I had no problem opening your Dropbox photo of the 24. What a terrific colour! Looks to be in excellent condition. Maybe you can do the same with your Alfa. You can always try the simple method demonstrated by Raphael. The thing to remember is not to use any of those lttle boxes on the Panhard header. On your Dropbox I'm sure you will find a buttton for "download" or "share" just like Flikr which gives a box with all that string of code highlighted so you just click and copy and then paste it directly on your reply.
