You can't attach them per se on this version of phpBB, but you can isplay them inside your post.

As MM said, the way to go about it is to upload them to a host like photobucket, then use the [IMG] tags around the url of the hosted image.

The line in your post would look like tis:

Code: Select all

 [img]http://url_of_image[/img]
Then the image would show inside your post. The "Photography Thread With Pictures" in this forum is a good example (and place to post them).

This weekend I watched all 3 LotR movies, and all 6 Star Wars movies, all in order. I did this instead of homework, so tonight I'm really busy.

Now that takes stamina. And serious geekiness. :Hail: :biggrin:

I would have/could have done that in my youth, but not now. However, I have spent the last couple of days watching all the bonus material on the extended edition of Two Towers, and I haven't even gotten to the audio commentaries yet. Not to mention there's still ROTK. (It's my first time around with the extended versions of TT and ROTK.) Holy hobbits, they packed a lot of stuff into the DVD's! I love it. :)

It was a little shorter than it could have been, because I don't have the extended versions, nor did I even look at any of the bonus material. (I did, however, listen to the entirety of the credits so I could hear all of the music. I had not yet done this for each movie, so I discovered some music I hadn't heard before.)

I spent the weekend taking images of comet Lulin, and then viewing it through my 10" Newtonian telescope last night.

Good luck with the writing. I'd love to be able to write, but I'm no writer.

Been to pub tonight, hopefully going to cinema tomorrow afternoon to see what all the fuss is about Slumdog Millionaire, then have some friends coming round for a (hopefully regular) Coen Bros film night. Big Lebowski, and if we have time, my fave The Man Who Wasn't There.

I am visiting my parents in the country this weekend, using my telescope on their estate, and reading.

I have to write an essay on the importance of the concept 'Celticness' in the national identities of England, Scotland and Ireland. Bleh.

Been to see Gran Torino tonight. Enjoyed it. Tomorrow is rugby day - 2 Scots, 1 Welsh, 1 Palestinian, 1 Korean, and 1 Irish will be gathering to watch Ireland claim the Grand Slam for the first time since 1948. Except, they won't, they'll buckle under the pressure of expectation like they always do :roll: and here's me with no voice to scream at the screen with.

Should be good fun though :D

here's tip for your essay, Cov Jr, 'celticness' is just a moniker for conquered people differentiating themselves from the 'norm' that is the English. (Going straight to gon an rit for that one)
