This will be deserving of it's own thread - soon enough.
For the meantime, let it be known i've been pottering around seeking a useful tool for the website.

Use this link:

http://forum.mathews.me.uk/uploads

to upload ANY images you want. Once uploaded it offers the following codes which can be directly copied & pasted to your own posts, blogs or whatever takes your fancy.

options covered:

• URL
  URL Direct link
  HTML
  BB Code (i.e. this & other forums)

I really hope you folks can make use of this - it's taken me ages to locate it & install so you'd better all make it worth my while

And yes, it can be used for off-site image hosting too. I don't mind - but if you DO choose to use it off site, i'd appreciate you use the URL link (as oppose the URL Direct) - OR offer a link back to the forum - either which way is good...
