Well if you will make things difficult for yourself by lambing sheep on the roof. I'm no farmer but I bet it's easier to do in field.

I'm at a loss for words!

But if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have quality clothing :D

Thanks Alan! :D

if you find an image online there is an easy way to post it here.
right click on it, and select "save image location" or "save image url"

then come back and post it here.

if you paste it here it will look like this, a link -

http://www.allsportauto.com/photoautre2 ... g_04_m.jpg

BUT, if you put these letters before and after it, it will show as the original image -

Image after

so it would read - Image

heres what it looks like in practice. it saves you having to download it to your computer then upload it via imageshack/tinypic

Imgur is very handy for uploading photos. No registration, no captchas, easy to resize photo...

After uploading, click on "Large thumbnail" and you will get a photo this size:

If you see only half of the pic, the resolution is too high. For some reason this forum doesn't automatically resize the photo to fit, unlike other forums.

Image

Try clicking "Large thumbnail" first, it should make the photo small enough to fit on the forum. Click on the picture afterwards, you'll notice that the URL changes, so just copy and paste that here.

If not (although it should the large thumbnail should work), click on "Edit image" and there you can resize it to any size you want.
