If you have an album that you created here in TW, click the little icon of the 'Camera' in the header of a new post and you should be able to see the pictures available to you. Then just select the photo you want to add and continue from there. I don't have any photos in TW so I cannot help you further on that. However, if you want to be able to embed photos into your post, you'll want to use the little icon that looks like a landscape picture next to the smileys in the header. I use a photo hosting site like www.imgur.com to host your photos and then you just link to them using BBC forum code. Once you create an account on Imgur, top right of the screen will have your user name you created. Click that and click on 'Images'. New page will open and you should see a big green button labeled 'Add Images'. You can now either browse or drag images into the window. If you browse, you can upload a larger number of pictures at once using the ctrl-click method. I cant remember exactly what the phrase is called but you want to make sure your photos are set to 'private'. I think the button is called 'Share to community' if you want to post it to the imgur boards but I'm assuming that you dont want to open your pictures to the hive and villainy that is public Imgur. Once you uploaded all your photos to your personal private gallery, click on one of your photos and you should see a series of links on the right hand side: Image Link, Direct Link, Markdown Link, HTML, BBCode, Linked BBCode. Copy the 'Direct Link' to your picture then come back here to TW and click the little landscape picture icon in the header of your post and paste the link into there then hit 'insert'. I hope that makes sense. I can clean this up a bit if it helps.

Geee that plane looks great, with those alum. colored wheels, Way better than the more popular dark, drab, black ones we're seeing now days. Just imagine how funky it would look with black wheels!!!... Just my opinion.

 

To not derail this thread too far, I took those photos in Sheppard AFB out on the CDDAR range when I stationed up there as an instructor. Those aluminium wheels are painted Tech School white and covered in every type of bug and bee/wasp nests you can imagine.

Aw monkey, I's just pointing out my opinion of dark, drab colored wheels on autos. Imagine that plane with black wheels, gosh, AWFUL, ain't it?

 

Well, I hate the be the bearer of bad news. All the in-service 130's I've worked on have black wheels on black tires, coming from the AFSOC side of the house. Primarily AC-130U gunships. The W and the new J's all have black wheels. Hides the bird blood easier I guess.

Possibly this new fad has came from the military's idea. Hides the blood from the roadkill. Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people painting, or putting dark wheels on their autos. Just say'in I, personally, like bright, happy, & uplifting better than dark, drab & sinister. No doubt, I'm in the minority. Most folks now, with light, alum., or chrome wheels, either paint them flat black or replace them with black or dark colors wheels. It's all just different opinions, none are wrong, just different. Think positive, be happy.
