Please follow Spud’s directions - however for one-off uploads, please use the new image hosting we’ve put together for bikes instead of photobucket et al. This will make sure images don’t get lost when other hosts go down, and that they all stay visible within the forum forever*.
You can use it for hosting any bike related stuff, either here or elsewhere.
Well, I can fix it, someone just has to tell me, as I don’t spend enough time here to notice those problems… I will double the bandwidth. In future, if there is a problem, PM me and I’ll fix it as soon as I can.
Can someone explain how to have an image display in my post?
The best I can do is a thumbnail — that links to a really poor quality version of my flickr photo.
just right click on the image you want to post, then click copy image url. Now go to where you want to post and click the insert image icon.

So I can’t seem to ever get pictures posted up anymore, everytime I upload them it says that there was an ‘error uploading’. I have tried doing it staright from my computer and linking my photobucket, any advice?
In Photobucket, copy the image URL from the options listed below the image (ie. http://whatever.photobucket.com) . Paste this URL into the pop-up tab thing on fixed.org.au when you click on the image icon. If you can’t get it working doing that I don’t know know why.
Note: if you use Flickr or other photo hosting sites such as Cyclebucket, they will usually provide you with a link that has the [img] tags included.
Finally, if you wish to use the insert image button on the toolbar above (the one that looks like a picture, next to the “film” button"), choose “insert image from URL” and uncheck the button that says “retrieve remote file and reference locally” and stick the URL in. Also, in my experience, using the insert image button to upload a file from your computer never seems to work and gives me this:
