how to post pictures pop-up accessible from the "post a message" page, probably. Rob?

but in the meantime, what you do is ftp your picture to wherever you intend to host it (your ISP's free webspace, usually, Geocities and other free sites just don't work). then go to the B3TA messageboard and click on the "post a message" button at the top of the screen. Type something amusing for a title in the appropriate dialogue box and, in the message box, type in the following:

IMG SRC="HTTP://www.yourwebspace.co.uk/yourpicture.jpg"

and surround the whole with "less than" and "greater than" signs so that the B3TA computer thingy recognises it as HTML.

Then click the "post message" button and all is sorted (you might want to preview it first using the "preview" button, to ensure that you're not posting something so wide that everyone else is pushed into the sea - if this happens add

WIDTH=250 before the "greater than" sign at the end of your HTML tag.

Course you can use same technique to post pictures found from other sources if you want, refering instead to the URL of that found image. Helping share the very best of the web with others...

If you continue to have problems (or don't have an ISP who can host your pics), you can always email them to B3TA using the "email us" button at the top of the screen. Some B3TA chap usually gets round to posting them on the board once they've finished ruining memories of eighties pop icons/childhood traumas with their devilish animations...

Simple really. Looking forward to seeing your pics!

# I would
write my mini essay again but I'm very tired, Rob/Pep/Cal or any other b3ta bod, would it not be a good idea to have an FAQ detailing this?

ahh sod it, here you go:

First you need to get ahold of some hosting. Hosting is space on a computer that is permanantly connected to the web, you probably got some space with your ISP (BTinternet, freeserve, AOL, etc) if your connecting to the web from home. If not the there are plenty of free hosting providers out there that you can sign up for in minutes, but beware, there are a few, such as geocities and angelfire, that dont allow you to let people see the pictures if theyre not refrenced off of their sites. I think Homestead are a known free provider that provide a free hosting scheme that will do just fine.

Next thing is to upload your images to your newly aquired web space. Most hosting sites provide an FAQ on how to do this.

Once uploaded you need to note down the URL (web address) of the image. This is the key in being able to post your images.

If youve done all the above and youve got the URL of your image then go to the message posting box and type the following (substituting *url* for the URL of your image):

<img src="*url*">

place the above at any point in the message and, if all goes well, when you post the message the image will appear on the board.

nb. Make sure that when you enter the URL you include the full address, eg. http://www.myhosting.com/mywebspace/mypic.jpg

Hope this helps, I'm very tired and have probbably missed something out but I'm pretty sure its the just of it.

# arse
An American Airlines flight on its way to John F Kennedy airport has crashed in New York. At least four buildings in the Rockaway Beach area of the city's borough of Queens are on fire. It is not known why the aircraft crashed or how many people were on board, or in the buildings now ablaze. New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani is on his way to the crash site and has called a level one alert. There is no indication at the moment that the crash is anything other than an accident. The weather was crystal clear when the plane - thought to be a Boeing 767 - went down. All three airports serving New York - JFK, Newark and La Guardia - are now closed. The Dow index dropped 200 points on hearing the news.
