Can someone tell me in 1,2,3 style how to post pics here.

Thanks

You can either upload pics from your PC (sometimes) or link to them from a web site, such as Photobucket for instance.

1. In the 'Reply' window, click on the 'insert image' icon.

2. In the window that appears select 'From URL' and type in or paste the URL of the pic on the website you are linking to. There is also a 'From Computer' option to upload pics directly from your PC but, for some reason, sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.

KINGELL that was easy.

You're a a star towpack. Give your dog a bone on me.

My "from computer" button works. I can select the picture I want in "browse". How do I select more than one picture without going through the "browse" trail again.

Come on frank. What are the taps for?

Can't help with your question.

Hi Karl

I replaced the standard rear heater pipes with rubber ones. The taps are just to turn the rear heater off in summer as it still gets hot.

Summer. What's that?

Good idea mate.

Summer. What's that?

To my recollection it's one day sometime in July or maybe August where a big yellow thing appears in the sky and occasionally emits heat.

Frank.
I have a question (one sitting on my a*se unable to look at the pipes under my bonnet lol).
Is there a bypass in your setup to loop the two pipes together when you have them closed? Like I said, not sure of the setup or existing layout as I type this.
Incidentally, you could have used some ballofix valves, or even better some full-bore service valves which are the ones where there is a slotted screw head instead of the big long gate lever for a bit more subtle installation (do require a screwdriver instead of a hand, to be fair). Just an observation not a criticism...

has have you got your threads confused? This isn't the 2053 thread lol

The rear heater pipes run in parallel with the front pipes so no by pass is required. Also I could have fitted one tap to close off the rear circuit but decided on two so if I had a leak in the pipes to the rear I could isolate them all. I did look at several valves. I like red handles so chose them! I had to flatten the handles to allow the bonnet to close.

For those of you who missed the summer and thought my taps OTT, well this years' summer happened in Spain where it was very hot so I'm glad I had my taps.

Thanks Frank, the parallel explains that.

I cannot get that to work properly so have disabled it. For some stupid reason it will not enable correctly so defaults back to the daft one-at-a-time option.

You can sort of do it in the advanced editor.
Below where you type there is a "Manage attachments" button. Click that and you can upload more than one but you have to browse for each one.
If you cannot see the Manage Attachment button then click on the "Go Advanced" button below.

Is there any way of selecting video clips from our PC's without having to go through Utoobe or facebook?
Oops, not facebook, Photobucket

 

[Crispin]

Not really Chas. I'll see if there is a mod I can put on to do that. Would be simpler.

Will have a dig around.

Thanks Crispin

This is the only time with me it was not operator error/stupidity .
