Hi, I'd love to be a part of this group, but alas I don’t think I’m going to manage it. im not on any other forums, as everyone seems to be on Facebook these days. I have spent the whole evening so far trying to work out how to post a picture, joining photobucket was a job in itself. Is there no easy way to click 'add photo' and it just appear, rather than uploading, copying links etc. I’m on an iPad, can’t even remember how to use a 'computer', alternatively, is there a Facebook page ? cheers

Hello General, sir, Welcome. Dunno about facebook, I'm not on it, but Photobucket is pretty rubbish these days. There's an inbuilt system on the forum though, when you click reply, create thread etc there's a box up in the right corner of the text box - 'Add image to post'. Click on that and you can select or drag & drop pictures & they'll appear in your post. As far as I know, the pictures need to be on your device - ipad. There's proper instruction on this in the General section. What bike do you have?

Ian, I tried that, it gives me some http link things when I click upload, I’ve copied and pasted them, but still no photos, just the links appear. I’m struggling to get my head around how it is so complicated. I did read the instructions in the forum but it’s like a foreign language to me, sorry.

make sure your browser is on desktop, then it should open another browser to upload your photo.

make sure your browser is on desktop, then it should open another browser to upload your photo. I’ve just googled 'What is a browser?' and I didn’t even understand the answer it gave me. I’m not sure what a browser or a desktop is. I’m 46, but never really used computers, just use an iPad or my phone.

I may try again at some point in the future, but I’m going to give up for the time being. Thanks for trying to help though. On a positive note, I found a CB250/400N page on Facebook and posted with my pictures in about six seconds. I’m probably safer sticking to what I know to be fair. Cheers for now.

hi and welcome. I'm on an ipad (my only interweb access) all I do is (as others have said) is use the red reply box at the top right (not the quick reply) when you tap add image it should come up with a box from your ipad, tap add image to post and it should come up ibb, tap the blue bit with the arrow pointing down and then tap photo library and select a photo to upload, it sounds a faff but its quite easy when your used to it

Facebook is okay but I came off of that side of the forum over a year ago - you do get a good degree of non-enthusiasts (dare I say idiots) on there.
Good luck.
